Hi!
In my Fess 15.8 the Web crawling config has “Included Doc URLs” and “Excluded Doc URLs” but in the documentation it says “Included URLs For indexing” and “Excluded URLs For indexing”.
Is it the same thing? Why is it different?
Yes, they are the same fields. The admin UI labels in 15.8 were shortened, so they no longer match the documentation:
- “Included Doc URLs” / “Excluded Doc URLs” = “Included URLs for Indexing” / “Excluded URLs for Indexing”
- “Included URLs” / “Excluded URLs” = “Included URLs for Crawling” / “Excluded URLs for Crawling”
The first pair is the crawl scope: the crawler only follows URLs that match. The “Doc” pair controls which of the crawled pages are indexed. The crawler still follows links on pages that aren’t indexed.
Thanks for pointing this out. I’ve changed the English UI labels to match the documentation (fix(ui): restore "for Crawling" / "for Indexing" in English crawl config labels by marevol · Pull Request #3658 · codelibs/fess · GitHub), and the fix will be in an upcoming release.
