You can customize how content is indexed and displayed in both internal and public-facing site search by configuring search settings within your HCMS content models. These tools allow you to fine-tune search behavior, improve relevance, and ensure users see meaningful, consistent results.
Define a Search Title
Each content type can specify which field should be used as the search title during indexing. This title appears in both internal search and public site search results.
Instructions
Select a Content Type
Click the Search tab
Identify the field or fields that should be used as a title
Note:
If a search title is not defined, none of the entries in that content type will appear in search results.
To help prevent this, HCMS will display a warning in the content model editor if no search title is configured.
Include or Exclude Fields from Search Indexing
You can control which fields are searchable by marking them as included or excluded from the search index. This affects both internal and external search results.
Use this setting to:
Improve search result relevance
Exclude non-essential or sensitive fields from influencing search results
To manage field indexing:
Select a Content Type
Click the search tab
Identify the field or fields that should be included or excluded
Changes take effect after saving the content type.
