I'm still on DNN 8.0.3 and we are looking to completely start anew by the end of 2024. But in the meantime we are getting various search results on commercial search engines such as Google, Bing and others that we would like to prevent from showing in the results. Is there a way to prevent pages and/or modules from being captured from these commercial search bots without breaking the 3rd party extension we use for internal searches ???
We use avt.SearchBoost for our internal searches.
Any help would be appreciated very much.
Thank You Mike
You may restrict the view permissions of the page(s) and/or module(s) to specified users and/or roles (for "all" there is the "Registered Users" role). As a bot cannot login it can't index the content. But then, your visitors have to register and log in to your portal. Happy DNNing! Michael

Thanks Michael! I will have to verify but I'm pretty sure as all the pages and modules are locked down to "Registered Users" since this is an Intranet site.
That is old news. Evoq used to be the professional edition but about 5 years ago, the community took over the lead of the product roadmap. The platform edition is technically in better shape and there are many agencies that can provide enterprise support. If it comes to enterprise features for editors, you can suffice with a few extensions that will take care of structured content, workflows etc.
Good news: DNN Platform beats jusst about any other CMS when it comes to editor experience. Believe me I know::I have been working with over 20 CMSs and we're still up there.
