I am building a custom search application for Sharepoint 2013 (self-hosted). When performing a full-text search, the document URL should not be taken into account. For me, the URL of the document is not only irrelevant, but the search results are also misleading. E.g. if the user performs a keyword search which includes any part of the URL, ALL documents are returned.
To solve this, the URL should
- either not be crawled at all OR
- excluded from the full text search.
Is there any way to achieve this?
I see the following response on Office 365, which relates to Sharepoint Online - https://community.office365.com/en-us/f/154/t/400899 . apparently it is not possible there. Is this also true for self-hosted sites? If yes, could you think of a possible workaround?
Thanks
