Unable to search within site

Question

It appears that google is unable to search within geohub sites. Is there a way to enable the ability for google to view within a Hub site so that users can better find content?

e.g.

site:https://gis-grey.opendata.arcgis.com/pages/maps doesn't show any results

park site:http://geohub.brampton.ca/pages/apps wont show any results for parks despite the 2nd app being parks and recreation.

even site:http://geohub.lacity.org/ doesn't seem to be able to search for applications and can only find datasets. At least using (Your New SEO Browser: Browseo ) there is content.

Is there something I'm missing to be able to search and find things better within our site?

Hey Joel,

Linking to a map on a page is not the same as sharing the map on your open data site. When I search for “site:https://gis-grey.opendata.arcgis.com atv” I get the page that includes that webmap as a search result. Because that map is not actually shared on your site, there isn’t a landing page for it and hence there’s nothing for google to index. The only webmaps shared on your site are: Road Conditions and Road Cycling routes. Incidentally those are not showing up in a search. It am not sure why those are not indexing. Have you tried submitting your sitemap to google?

Hello Daniel,

Yep the map is still shared, showing up, and can be opened by someone not logged in.

http://gis-grey.opendata.arcgis.com/pages/maps

it's the 2nd web app on the above page

Hi Joel, looks like there is an error loading that web map, hence it would not show up in search. Is it still shared to your site.
