PK71645: WCM SEARCH DISPLAYING DUPLICATE RESULTS FOR SITEAREAS WITH DEFAULT CONTENT WHICH IS LOCATED UNDER DIFFERENT SITEAREA.

 

APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • If the SiteArea has default conent which is located under a
    different SiteArea, the SiteArea is not getting filtered, and
    there will be duplicate content items.
    

Local fix

  • N/A
    

Problem summary

  • If a sitearea's default content does not reside directly under
    that site area, but does reside somewhere in the site associated
    with the collection, that content is getting crawled and indexed
    twice.  This incorrectly results in duplicate search results.
    WCM search seed is not filtering all the SiteAreas with default
    content in them. It is only filtering the SiteAreas with default
    content, if the content is located right underneath it, in other
    words, only if it is the direct parent to that content.
    
    It filtered this:
    
    SiteArea:
    http://[HOST]:10038/wps/wcm/myconnect/vsnl+content/Help+Center/R
    esources/Other+documents <page action="delete">
    
    Default Content:
    http://[HOST]:10038/wps/wcm/myconnect/vsnl+content/Help+Center/R
    esources/Other+documents/Other+documents
    
    But is not filtering this:
    
    SiteArea:
    http://[HOST]:10038/wps/wcm/myconnect/vsnl+content/Help+Center/G
    eneral+Help/Reports
    
    Default Content: (Notice another SiteArea in between)
    http://[HOST]:10038/wps/wcm/myconnect/vsnl+content/Help+Center/G
    eneral+Help/Reports/Reports+Home+Page/Reports
    While building a search collection, WCM was only detecting and
    deleting duplicate site area default content references from the
    search seed list if the content resided directly under the site
    area which is  using it as default content.
    

Problem conclusion

Temporary fix
