How to set up categories for search results

Categories are areas of the website that have a particular shared characteristic(s) that help narrow down results for your end users. In other words, categories will let your users filter their search results.

To set up a category, go to your Crawler Settings and select the crawler you'd like to configure the categories for.

Category (Optional): Use the following to determine what categories are available in the search engine’s results page:

• Cludo meta tag: Use the meta tag cludo:category to define the category
• Meta keyword tag: Categories will be defined using a meta tag. For example, all pages containing <meta name=”category” content=”Products”> would end up in a category called "Products". 
  Please note: If you want a page to end up in more than one category, you cannot separate the content and will need to set up the same meta tag with different contents.
• URL match (most popular): Set the category based on the URL. For example, if the url contains /products, set the category for the page to "Products". For results that do not fit into a category, you should insert a default value, like Other. If a default value isn't set, pages that do not fit into a category won't be indexed.
  
• XPath: Define the category using an X Path query. A popular option is to take a part of the breadcrumb and use this as the category.
  
  Also here, you should insert a default categories for pages where this Xpath doesn't apply.

Once you've configured your categories, test your crawler in Step 4 to ensure specific pages are pulled into the categories you've set.
