Important Note
Any document published in the Document Center can be found by adding /DocumentCenter to the end of your Web Central site’s URL. This is accessible to the public by default, and will show in search results. To exclude these items from search, you must hide the folder or document from public view.
If a document is accessible by the public, it is also accessible by Search crawlers, which means it will appear in search results. Any time a document is linked on a page, the likelihood of it appearing higher in a list of search results increases.
You can Hide a document from the public or Hide a folder from the public, which means the document(s) will be excluded from Search Results and will not show on the front-end Document Center page. Users with a direct link will still be able to access the document.
