I have a page that has dataview web part on it (page a). That web part has a link to another page (page b) that pulls the details of that item based on a querystring parameter. I'm trying to add each of these 'dynamic' pages to search results.
I added a crawl rule for the subsite where page a exists to include all items in this path, crawl complex url's, crawl sharepoint content as http pages.
http://*.*.*/abstracts/*
If I test http://admin.abc.org/abstracts/pages/abstractdetail.aspx?LID=123 in crawl rules SP says url will be crawled because it matches my rule.
However, if I add the same url to the crawl log and search for it I get no results, there are also no results displayed in the site.
I read somewhere I also needed an 'index' page in my crawl rules so I added a crawl rule for page a and set it to include all items in path and to follow links on the url without crawling the url itself. Not sure if this last step is necessary.
Does anyone know what I am missing? I desperately need the 822 'dynamic' pages to show up in search results.
