| Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 9/14/11 6:09 PM | Hi there, When we roll out the ondemand removal tool in Jun (http://googlecustomsearch.blogspot.com/2011/06/improved-on-demand-indexing.html), it was only possible to submit removal requests via Sitemaps, which might be tedious work for users who ju |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | Brian Dooley | 9/18/11 8:05 AM | Sorry, Google, but it is not working. Since you made the change the Custom Google index is finding pages that do not include the search term. I look forward to Google making this right. |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | soomani | 9/19/11 3:00 PM | I have problems as well. I have found the 'exclude site' function to work better than this.. And still there's no immediate solution to getting deleted files off the index. |

| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 10/14/11 3:51 PM | The ondemand indexing and removal tool is designed for website owners so we require the URLs submitted are sites that are verified by WebMaster Tools. Generally speaking, as long as the URL can be recognized by a browser, it is valid. |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | Jim-140 | 10/17/11 1:52 PM | I don't recall that ever having been required, but OK. However, when I go to the Webmaster Tools link and click the Verify site link, I get a "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" message. If it is unable to verify the site, I would expect a |

| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | omr | 11/20/11 4:25 AM | @ flapane: I don't know of any currently available Custom Search feature to control or exclude indexing of just a selected section of the text of each page.

| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 11/20/11 9:08 PM | @flapane & omr, we did come up with a solution for CSE users (also content owners) to exclude certain part of a page for keyword matching. We'll create a CSE help center article shortly for that topic and ping back once live. |

| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 11/30/11 9:51 AM | Does the pages with the new design have the same URLs? If yes, the new content should be indexed and made searchable in a couple of days, and it will take slightly longer for all your old contents (due to cache) to be completely removed. If not, the |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | aktiv8 | 11/30/11 9:57 AM | no, unfortunately the URL's are different - it appears that I'm limited to 10 on demand url removal requests - not good. Ideally I need to be able to submit an xml document of the urls that are no longer in existence so that the search engine will i |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 11/30/11 10:03 AM | If the old URLs have a pattern (e.g., under a specific subsite), then you can add the URL pattern to the "Excluded sites" (accessible via the Sites page in your CSE control panel). Even if you don't have a good pattern, you can still add individual |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | aktiv8 | 11/30/11 12:29 PM | Thanks for your help with this - what I have done is added the new pages of the site to the search engine so that it ONLY looks at those and excludes any others. Wouldn't have found the link without your help cheers |

| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | hxu-cse | 11/30/11 9:36 PM | Yup, that's it. :) Please note that once NOCONTENT markups are added, they won't have any effect until Google Custom Search recrawls and reprocesses the pages. And of coz, on demand-indexing can be used to accelerate the process. |
| Re: Ondemand removal on random/individual urls is made easier | fire | 1/24/12 10:25 AM | On the Indexing page in the Control Panel, there isn't an "On-demand indexing using individual URLs" option.
