  • Indexer skips pages without links

    I have read other messages in the forums, apparently it is easiest to index files with links. I am creating a real estate site where I would like the individual html pages searchable, but not have direct links from other pages. For example, if I had 500 houses, each with its own page, I would want someone to be able to search with certain criteria (price, number of bedrooms...) using the custom meta fields (which I have already setup). It would not make sense for me to have 500 links throughout the site. When I run the indexer, these pages are not indexed. When I look at the log, I do not even see them listed as being skipped.

    If you are indexing in offline mode, then no links are required. If you are using spider mode, then either links or a list of URLs are required.
