This was my approach;

In my config file I have these 2 entries;

IndexDir /home/www/public
FileRules pathname contains private

Where private is a subdirectory of public.
This seems to index everything but path names
that contain private.

You can also control views by file types as well.
This excludes Perl scripts from being searched;

FileRules filename contains .pl .cgi

Good luck ;)

Suppose I am indexing a directory on Unix called A that contains documents
and subdirectories B and C.  Now on Unix, I don't want to index subdirectory
C, but index all the documents in A and B.  Is there a configuration file
directive to do this?  If not, can I do this and how?
