Hi there I have a site that was built using Frontpage. Since I joined the organisation we have got frontpage extensions sorted and now how a FP Search Engine on the site. The problem is the search engine is finding my menu pages?

Can I use the noindex tag to stop it doing this?

Any help appreciated.

Have you tried building the menu pages seperately to the Frontpae web? This might stop Frontpage recognising that they are part of the website.

it would appear that a noindex tag should do the trick:

If I'm not mistaken, any files you don't want indexed can go in the _private folder.

_private folder

Or create any folder starting with an underscore and it should also not get indexed.
