Excluding Content
Prevent specific posts or pages from appearing in search results.
By default, Vellumine indexes all published posts and pages from your Ghost blog. If you want to prevent a specific piece of content from appearing in search results, you can tag it with the internal Ghost tag #vellumine-exclude.
How It Works
- In your Ghost admin, open the post or page you want to exclude.
- In the Tags field, add the internal tag
#vellumine-exclude. - Save or update the post.
The next time the post is saved, Vellumine's webhook will detect the tag and automatically remove the document from your search index. If the tag is later removed, the post will be re-indexed on the next save.
Internal tags (prefixed with
#) are not visible to readers on your blog, they are only used for administrative purposes in Ghost.Use Cases
- Members-only content: exclude paywalled posts that readers without a subscription cannot access anyway.
- Draft-like published posts: hide posts that are technically published but not meant to be discoverable yet.
- Landing pages: exclude standalone pages (e.g. a contact or about page) that add noise to search results.
