Hello all,
We would like to have our web app crawled by Sharepoint 2013. Within our web app I have already built a "Site map creator" (builds the common xml file) which is used by external search engines (Google, Bing, Yahoo...) to crawl the site and index the content. I have also built a "Jump Page" (Basically an html page, that contains a links to all the individual records) creator, used by Google Search Appliance to crawl the site.
I set up a new Content Source which points to my external site and "jump page". When I click perform full crawl it only indexes the one page (the jump page). I figured that it would read the page and followed all the links to the other records on the site.
This doesn't seem to happen. Am I doing something wrong? Is this not how the SharePoint crawling works?
I can't seem to find anything on the net that shows me what the Sharepoint crawler is expecting? Our site pages are all built dynamically using ids based on searching for specific values. Which is why Sharepoint can't just crawl and find the
pages on it's own, hence the creation of the "jump page" which has all the indexable urls built for the crawler.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks very much in advance!
