Exclude "AllItems.aspx" from sharepoint Search Result

Question

Hi all,

I have a issue with sharepoint seach in office 365 public facing site. For searching purpose, I have created various scopes on the document library. So by searching that document library , I want to restrict url which contains forms/allitems.aspx.

I tried it with exclude functionality in the scope but It didn't work for me.  Anybody there, who has faced such issue on sandbox solution.

Answer 1

Hi Suhil,

Go to search service application, crawling section, click crawl rules to create a crawl rule to exclude http://*allitems.aspx page.

Hi Kelly,

Thanks for the reply. How it can be possible with office 365.

Answer 3

Hi,

You cannot do this in Office365. You can however create a query rule or result source which modifies the query to exclude allitems.aspx results.

-filename:allitems.aspx

Thanks,

Hi, Mikael,

Please let me know, from where can I make query rule in office 365. I am working on office 365 public site. In Search scope, I am not able to figure out anything about create query rule. Is it possible in public site (Anonymous site )?

Answer 5

I tried this but didn't work. I restarted IIS many times as well as did index rest but still allitems.aspx appears in search results.

I did this for not only subsite but also parent site but same issue.

Answer 6

With the query rules I got it. With query rules we can set which result should be apprear & which result should nt be.

I did an update on this at http://www.techmikael.com/2014/11/tired-of-getting-allitemsaspx-hits-in.html where you can exclude by contentclass and wildcards.
