Crawling web content with search seedlists

The HCL Digital Experience and Web Content Manager Search support the use of seedlists to make crawling websites and their metadata more efficient. The content owners are provided with fine-grained control over how content and metadata are crawled.

When crawling content is generated with HCL Web Content Manager, you can configure the DX platform portal to use seedlist support.

When you use seedlist with web content, the seedlist format 1.0 makes it possible to use the web content page type to render content that is found in the search results on the corresponding web content page.

You can include custom metadata fields from a web content item that appears in the search seedlist but not in the HTML source.
