Forums: Search should not return matches from navigation links

Closed this issue · 1 comments

When I search the support forums for "Openverse" and sort by date, I get all forum pages:

Search results for Openverse in WordPress support forums

It seems that the whole forum page including the navigation links (with Openverse in them) is indexed for search. This should be updated to only index the forum posts and replies.

As this is powered by Google Search, it's not possible to exclude specific parts of the page.

This will be able to be resolved by removing Google Search: https://meta.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3388
