Reduce duplication in Zen Cart documentation search results

[scottcwilson]

When you search for "Reset" in the search box, you get 4 things related to resetting the admin password:

1 a link to user/troubleshooting/reset_admin_password 2 a link to user/admin/admin_password 3 a link to user/troubleshooting 4 a link to user/admin

Only 1 is useful. 2 is just a a redirect page. 3 and 4 are listing pages.

I tweaked the sitemap to exclude redirect pages, and it automatically excludes listing pages.

If you could configure Algolia to use the sitemap, the results should be more useful. The sitemap is here:

https://docs.zen-cart.com/sitemap.xml

Request to use Sitemap to build has been sent to Algolia today by Chris.

The redirect page is no longer in the search results - progress! But the two listing pages are still in the results, even though they are not in the sitemap. So is the solution to tell the search to only use the title and not the description?

I wonder if we have to ask them to remove start_urls from the config?

Not sure why the listing pages are still showing up because they're not in the sitemap. Could be a question you'll have to ask them.

searching the site returns no results. at least for any of my searches.

Search not working is a new issue, unrelated to this ticket. @drbyte has been informed of the issue.

[scottcwilson]

A new ticket has been created for the recent search issues: #721.

I think I'm ready to declare victory on this one. New search experience is much better.
