AddSearch allows for removing patterns from page titles with automatic title filters. Removing excess patterns helps you to make titles in the search results easier to read.

You can use title filtering when your website’s titles have repetitive patterns. For example, if the title starts with “Page name – Company name,” you can create a filter that removes the pattern. You can also use title filters to remove patterns from the end of the title.

Instructions

To set up title filtering, follow these instructions:

  1. Log in to your AddSearch Account
  2. Go to Other settings under Setup
  3. Locate Title filtering
  4. Enable manual filtering to create title filters
  5. Choose prefix or suffix filter type from the drop-down menu
    • To remove a pattern from the beginning of the title choose prefix
    • To remove a pattern at the end of the title choose suffix
  6. Add the pattern to the input field you wish to filter from the search results
  7. To add multiple filters click Add new filter +
