Increase your search relevancy by removing views & other irrelevant results from your Sharepoint search
By peter.stilgoe
By deafult Sharepoint search results will include ‘noise’ pages in the search results, such as views, all forms etc etc. If you dont want these to appear in your search results, which most people wont you can exlude them by creating exlude rules in the SSP.
1) Navigate to the SSP.
2) Click search settings under Search.
3) Click Crawl Rules.
Some common noise pages you may wish to include:
*://*webfldr.aspx – This will exclude all explorer view pages if you choice it as a exclude rule.
*://*mod-view.aspx* – This will exclude the Moderation view page if you choice it as a exclude rule.
*://*my-sub.aspx* – This will exclude the page with your items if you choice it as a exlude rule.
*://*allitems.aspx* – This will exclude the allitems page from the search results if you choice it as a exclude rule.
*://*allforms.aspx* – This will exclude the all forms page from the search results if you choice it as a exclude rule.
*://*/lists/* – This will exclude the list from the search results if you choice it as a exclude rule.
*://*DispForm.aspx* – This will exclude the list display form from the search results if you choice it as a exclude rule.
Now run a full crawl & youre done.
