How to change from exact url to subsite in customsearch.ai? - search

How do I change a url from an exact url to a subsite in the https://www.customsearch.ai? I add a url but it automatically chooses exact url?

The answer is to change the search in the right-side to bing, then Search bing, find the page, then add the page as a subsite.

Don't add http or https in the URL and it will be configured as 'site'. If you add http or https to the URL, it will be configured as 'exact URL'.

How can I redirect a page to external URL in Perch CMS

I have a Perch web site which will be moving (gradually) to a new domain, so I need to redirect some pages to the new URL.
e.g. mysite.com/page1 => mynewsite.com,
mysite.com/page2 stays the same
I have tried doing redirects using .htaccess, for example:
Redirect 302 /page1 https://mynewsite.com
This works fine if you type the URL in the browser address bar, but when I click on any link to page1 on the web site, all I get is a white screen and no redirection (I have cleared the browser cache). But then if I refresh the page, it redirects. What am I missing, is there a specific way to redirect Perch pages using .htaccess?
I can't see any way to add a link manually in the admin section (sorry I am not very familiar with Perch) - all I can see is 'Page to link to', with no option to enter an external link. How can you set the link to an external URL?
Thanks.

Is it possible to have a url redirect to another page and keep the original url in the title bar?

A marketer in my company has a landing page on our site: www.importantcompany.com/amazingproduct
They have a vanity url that goes to the landing page:
www.amazingproduct.com
I successfully created the iis redirect rule. However, the marketer has comeback and would like to keep the redirect rule, but keep the address in the bar www.amazingproduct.com instead of www.importantcompany.com/amazingproduct
I'm assuming that this is not possible.
The only way to make this work is to create a new site in iis and copy the landing page into the new site and set the new site to go to www.amazingproduct.com
Please let me know if my assumption is correct.
Thanks!
Your assumption is incorrect.
You could write a filter on IIS that looks at the requested URL and notes if "www.amazingproduct.com" is sent in to do a "Server.Transfer" of the request to the subfolder that would be one solution that wouldn't require a new site at all.
URL Rewrite could also be another way to configure a way around this to some degree.

Mask URL to subdomain using IIS

I am looking to mask or cloak a URL with a subdomain.
For example, if I have the URL http://example.com/news/article/this-is-an-article it would be possible to visit http://test.example.com/this-is-an-article and the same page would display. Notice: the desired secondary URL is a subdomain of the original URL.
I am using IIS 7. All of the examples I have looked at only change the structure for the existing URL (instead of mapping it to a sub-domain). I am looking for something different to a redirect (perhaps a rewrite, if that is the correct term).
Assuming you are using the IIS rewrite module, there are two main response types: Rewrite and Redirect.
A rewrite takes the existing url and changes it internally within the same site, so that a url that doesn't really exist on the site is remapped to an existing endpoint. The user does not notice the difference, the requested url returns the expected content. This only works within a site.
A redirect is used when you need to return content from a different site (such as in your case). Instead of rewriting the url internally, a 301 or 302 with a new url is returned to the browser. The browser than just requests that new url and gets the content from the second site. The user will notice a change of the url in the address bar.
So you have to use the redirect response type in the rewrite module, only in this case you can specify an absolute URL such as http://example.com/news/article/this-is-an-article
If both example.com and test.example.com are mapped to the same IIS site, you could use a rewrite rule.

how to use old URls as it is in new drupal site

You're not supposed to type something like story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1 as an URL alias.
There's a better way to do that. Try installing redirect module and add a new 301 redirect rule from story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1 to your new node's URL node/1.
So, whatever any user / search engine visits story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=49667&c=1, they will be redirected to node/1. or whatever the path you have given to the 301 redirect rule.
Hope this Helps... Muhammad.

HTTP Module causing problem with Google Cache

I have a live site ( I can't provide the URL ).
It is on sharepoint 2007. The pages were having a URL, later that was modified.
I wrote a http module and used response.redirect() to navigate user to the correct page.
But since the site was live previously; on searching on google.com, it shows the old URL only. Though the redirection works fine. I need to change the cached URL to new URL.
How can I do that ?
You need to understand the different redirect codes - by itself response.redirect() just redirects a browser (or bot) to another address.
You should have been issuing a 301 redirect then Google and other services (its been roumered that there are a few other games in town) would have eventually removed the old URL and replaced with the new URL and all your 'link juice' would be kept.
If you need to change the URL of a
page as it is shown in search engine
results, we recommended that you use a
server-side 301 redirect. This is the
best way to ensure that users and
search engines are directed to the
correct page. The 301 status code
means that a page has permanently
moved to a new location.
ASP.NET code for this
Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"
Response.addheader "Location", "http://www.newdomain.com/newurl/"
Response.end
Try to look here. Not sure, but it can help you.
