Restricting search results

Hi Louise Moghaddam, :)

you can try this, check article and then hide that from search results page:

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are these sections and articles doing here?)").parent().parent().hide();

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are sections?)").parent().parent().hide();

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are categories?)").parent().parent().hide();

Thanks

Thanks Ifra, sorry, I don't understand what you mean. Could you outline the exact steps please? Many thanks!

Loiuse, the given code is 

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are these sections and articles doing here?)").parent().parent().hide();

This is my article title in the code which I want to hide on search results page:

What are these sections and articles doing here?

So, you only need to remove my article title and add your article title one by one in the code. I'm doing this for my three articles only.

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are these sections and articles doing here?)").parent().parent().hide();

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are sections?)").parent().parent().hide();

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(What are categories?)").parent().parent().hide();

1). What are these sections and articles doing here?

2). What are sections?

3). What are categories?

you just add the given code to the scritp.js file and replace my article's title with yours which you wanna exclude.

It's worked! Thank you for helping Ifra, apologis for being such a luddite!!

Hi @ifra.

Could the approach described above be adapted for the hiding search results from an entire Category? We have several specific Categories that we want to effectively 'exclude' from all searches.

Thanks for any tips you can provide.

Hi Bob Rosenbaum,

Please see the solutions.

Solution 1:

If you want so then you can set your category 'save as draft' mode then only admin can show that specific category.

Solution 2:

Use this code and replace the category name 'General'. This code will hide the complete Category from search result sidebar and hide articles on the search page.

$(".sidenav-subitem.filter-name:contains(General)").parent().parent().hide();

var _x = $(".breadcrumbs > li > a:contains(General)").parentsUntil(".search-result-meta-container").parent().parentsUntil("article").parent();
$(_x).parent().hide();

Hope it is worked for you I just tried.

Thanks :)

Thanks very much @ifra!
Yes, we already use the Draft attribute for some categories, but for others it looks like your code can work well. I am tweaking it slightly to fit the requirements of our Search Results page, as it is a bit different from the Copenhagen theme.
My thanks again for your quick assistance here.

Any time Bob Rosenbaum :)

If there is any issue let me know and you can share URL of your woring theme as well then I can find exact solution for you.

Hi @ifra,

I tried pasting the code above into my script.js and changing the article title, but couldn't get it to work.

It looks like this when put into my Help Center:

$(".results-list-item-link:contains(Approvals)").parent().parent().hide();

Can you assist me?

@Tobias Grønbæk Melander, this code isn't for changing article title.

First you tell me the page name where you want to change article title and tell your current article title then I'll provide the exact solution here.
