We recently changed the search mechanism on the main website on Faculty Websites to search all publicly available websites hosted on the service.
Now, when you use the Search, which is available prominently on the header of each page, you will see results from all Faculty Websites that allow search engines. We’ve also added searching the Faculty Profile system to help viewers trying to find faculty based on search terms. The Faculty Profile system is a separate system run by the Office of Research.
How to enable or disable your Faculty Website being searched
By default, all new sites have search engine access disabled. This is intentional. We want to give you time to work on your site before making it searchable by Google and other search engines.
Ready to make your site searchable?
Change your Site Visibility settings. However, be aware it may take Google some time to find your site. The help page has some tips to speed things up.
