Remove Views and allitems.aspx from SharePoint 2013 Search Results
A lot has changed when it comes to search in SharePoint. Before we predominantly used crawl rules to exclude allitems.aspx. A similar crawl rule on SharePoint 2013 may cause the pages in the pages library not to be crawled.
The best solution is to use a result source to refine the search results.
- Make a copy of the out of the box "Local SharePoint Results" result source.
- Update the query text to remove unwanted results. Below will remove allitems.aspx, custom views on pages libraries and folders. You may also want to add other contenttypes to be excluded:
- {?{searchTerms} -ContentClass=urn:content-class:SPSPeople -filename:allitems.aspx -contentclass:STS_List_850 -filename:dispform.aspx -ContentType:Folder}
- Edit the search results web part to use the newly created Result Source.
That should give you better search results.
