CMS 10.6 Indexing Fields in Page Types


Prerequisites: At least one page type must be included in the search index, as administrators can only configure fields from indexed page types. See CMS 10.6 Indexing Page Types for details to include page types in search indexes.

Once page types have been selected for indexing, administrators can narrow the indexing scope by selecting only individual text-based fields to index from each page type.

To index an individual field within a page type:
  1. Navigate to Administration > InSite Search > Indexing.
  2. Select the Fields in Page Types tab in the InSite Search Configuration pane.
  3. Select the publishing target that will include the page fields in its search indexing via the Publishing Target drop-down list.
    Note
    If multiple publishing target search indexes will include the selected page fields, then, after you finish setting your configurations, you can batch apply the settings to multiple publishing targets.
