XPages Dynamic Search – Real Users vs. SpiderBots

● XPages Dynamic Content Control● Dynamically switches content into an XPage using Ajax hash tag processing techniques● This works well for real users … but not so well for robots !● Bots or Crawlers read a web page to index its content for search engines

● The bots cannot execute the Ajax JS code and thus fail to reach and index any content

● 9.0.1 Improvements● On the 1st page request in a given XPages session

● The runtime figures out if the page is loaded by a Bot● Dynamic Content Control can then adapts its markup for Bots or real users● For normal users, nothing changes except the analysis of the first page request in the session● For bots, the '#' tags are replaced by '&', effectively avoiding Ajax requests

● Several popular bots are supported by default● Designer allows your customize your bot support● Runtime now loads default facet on initial page load
