Does anyone know if there is a way omit certain content classes from
ever appearing in search results?

So be more specific I mean the Search for page search results in CMS.

Unfortunately not.. users will need to select the Content Class filter
each time they perform a search to do this.

(if this is not the case, then i would love to know how!!)

This is a shame really, since there are occasions when you dont want
users to search and link to system pages (headers, footers, 404 pages
etc) - and also it makes it difficult for users to differentiate the
difference between 'foundation' pages and 'page parts/components'.

I second a "hide from search options" an content class authorisation
package option

The best workaround i can think of is throwing all the non-user
relevant content classes in a folder with a "z_" prefix to put it
lower in the list.

I'll third this. It would plug the gaping hole in RedDot's (otherwise great) "Preassign Content Class" feature: Connect Existing Page doesn't enforce it.

Hi Nathan,

In the most recent 9.1 hotfixes and one of the 10 SP1 releases the
option to "Also apply this restriction to connecting existing pages"
was added to the top of the Preassign Content Class dialog which
should address your issue. Even if this does stop the end users from
connecting/references those objects, I think we all agree that it
would be good to clean up the undesirable content classes in search
options.

Cheers,
- Morgan

I actually create my own custom 'add page' reddots within projects
that automatically preassign Prefixes to page titles (for non
foundation pages - or page parts)

This way users can automatically see what is a 'full' page rather than
a part of a page in the search list (since the headline isnt actually
really used for anything)

I fourth this "feature request/bug fix"
and think Kims solution should be part of the base product.

Dear OpenText, please buy this solution of Kim and send him to New
York or the Bahamas as a thank you.

Hi all,

I've sent this thread through to the relevant people within the R&D team.  Whilst I cannot this enhancement directly as a result, this is the sort of conversation that those within the core development team need to be more exposed to.

Regards,

Dan.

Update: This has been formally placed into the enhancement request system.  I am working on many different aspects within the Solution Exchange community and shall endeavour to expose more visibility of these systems in the future.

Regards,

Dan.

Before we start whooping excitedly: @Kim - the holiday part wasn't included in the request ;-)

Peace out.
