GSA Index

[ram kumar]

Hi

Is it possible to make the changes on the cralwed index links?
I have one domain in production(staging) environment. I have crawled
this domain using GSA and created the index. Following is the pattern
for this crawl
http://domainname/directory3. All the urls that was cralwed are
under this " directory3" folder.

is it possible to change the crawled url links from " dirctory3 " to
"directory" without crawling the site again?
When i make this domain ACTIVE pattern will be http://domainname/directory.


Thanks.

If I understand correctly, then, you're crawling the staging
envinronment and serving it for searches in both staging and
production environments, yes?

A few options:

1. If staging and production are _otherwise_ identical, consider
crawling production if possible and serving that in both environments
instead.

2. Crawl staging and production if possible, serving the appropriate
collection depending on the environment. (Not my favorite but it's an
option! Sometimes useful/necessary though.)

3. Modify the XSLT such that /directory3/ is rendered as /directory/
via a search-and-replace operation on the various URL elements and
variables (see the "R" template). This one involves the most lifting,
plus you need to keep on top of anything else changing in the future.
