Others might have better ideas, but off the top of my head...

I think you'd need to exclude them with critieria. Create a boolean property called "Exclude from Search" (or use the existing "Exclude from Menus") and add a criteria element to only match on those where this isn't checked.

For files, move the non-searchable files to a separate VPP and don't include it in the SearchLocations property.

Hi, thanks for the reply

All  my pages are of diffrent type and so i have to create creteria for all the pages .How do I map this creteria with my search?

You'll need to create that same property (named the same) on each Page Type, yes.  Then, do something like this:

<EPiServer:SearchDataSource PageLink="<%# PageReference.StartPage %>" runat="server">
<Criteria>
    <EPiServer:PropertyCriteriaControl Condition="Equal" Type="Boolean" Name="ExcludeFromSearch" Value="False" Required="true" runat="server" />
</Criteria>
</EPiServer:SearchDataSource>

I also just noticed that the SearchDataSource has a property called "EnableVisibleInMenu".  You could use this to exclude pages where "Show in Menus" is not checked.  That might be an easy way to filter out non-searchable pages.

hi,

I have creted a property in my page type "selected/not selected" with same name. Now when i am searching any text in my text box  nothing is showing up in my search.

Replace Value="False" with IsNull="True". And use a Dynamic Property instead of one for each page.

You could also use something like this

            // Exclude the following page types
            foreach (PageType pageType in Constants.ExcludedPageTypes.Search)
            {
                FilterCompareTo pageTypeComparer = new FilterCompareTo("PageTypeID", pageType.ID.ToString())
                                                       {Condition = CompareCondition.NotEqual};
                pageTypeComparer.Filter(e.Pages);
            }

            // Remove all pages that are set to be hidden from the search
            new FilterCompareTo("HideFromSearch", null).Filter(e.Pages);

The above will filter out pages depending on properties also a set number of pagetypes you do not want to show

I just created a FilterMethod and passed this into the SearchDataSource :

searchDataSource.Filter += FilterSearchResults;
