Search by page

Add search criteria by sections or pages by selecting one or more pages on your site, or select a section on your site to limit the search to this section and its sub-pages.


If you select only one heading, the search will only include the pages in that heading, without giving users a choice

If you select more than one heading, the user will be able to choose a heading from a drop-down list. Leave this parameter empty so that this criterion does not appear and the search is carried out throughout the site.
