Using Sitemaps

Using Sitemaps

  • You can index only the sitemaps listed on the webpage by enabling Sitemaps in the WEB collection settings.
  • SearchBlox supports sitemap.xml listed in robots.txt when Follow Sitemap is enabled.
  • If a sitemap.xml file contains links to other sitemaps, SearchBlox will index all the linked sitemaps.
  • Only standard XML sitemaps are supported. Compressed XML files (tar or gzip) are not supported.
  • When Ignore Sitemaps is disabled, only sitemap links such as https://example.com/sitemap.xml are indexed.
  • By default, Ignore Sitemaps is enabled in the WEB collection settings.
  • You can index multiple sitemaps by providing multiple URLs in the root path.
  • Allow/Disallow path rules are applied when indexing sitemap URLs.
  • Spider depth and other WEB collection settings do not apply to sitemaps.
