How to restrict content references marked as Public from being indexed or returned in srch results?

edited May 12, 2026 6:33PM in PeopleTools and Lifecycle Management - PSFT (MOSC) 2 commentsQuestion

We recently implemented OpenSearch for Portal Registries in PeopleTools 8.60.14 and have identified an issue with Global Search using the delivered search definition PTPORTALREGISTRY.

We are seeing that search results are returning delivered public pages (e.g., PT_IMG_SIZE_GBL – Define Image Dimensions, PERS_POI_ADD - Add a POI Relationship, RUN_PERS_REFRESH - Refresh Personal Data) that:

  • End users are not aware of
  • Are not intended to be exposed
  • Are not realistically accessible through standard navigation or role-based security

Key concerns:

  • Global Search is exposing pages that should not be visible to end users
  • There are many delivered public pages, making manual cleanup (removing “Public” flags) difficult to scale
