There are several ways: 1) exclude them from the search. We already do that for several pages. For example if you go to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/WebSearchCode you'll see this line: #set ($excludedWebs = "doc.space<>'XWiki' and doc.space<>'Admin' and doc.space<>'Panels' and doc.name<>'WebPreferences' and") 2) Mark the pages as hidden. This is a new feature we've added in 1.8M1. We need to mark ourselves those technical pages as hidden in the default XE XAR. Especially since there's no UI to do that right now. Also note that this is a temporary hack while we work on the new model. If you really want to mark a page as hidden you can edit that page in wiki mode, type the following 2 lines, hit preview and then cancel: $doc.document.setHidden(true) $doc.save() 3) However the best solution is to move your hidden pages to the XWiki space since that space is a technical space that doesn't appear in search results as is show in 1). We normally do that for pages that we consider shouldn't appear in search results. Let us know if we missed some pages that should be hidden.
