Features
The Google Sites connector features are:
-
Content indexing
-
The connector can index Google Sites content from either a single user Google Account or a Google Apps domain.
The connector can index the following Google Sites content type to make it searchable by end-users:-
Web pages
-
Attachments
-
Announcements (Announcement pages)
-
Files and web attachments (File cabinets)
-
List items (List pages)
Note: The comments cannot be indexed because the current Google Sites API only allows to access comments created with the old commenting systems, not those created with the new commenting system.
-
-
Site-level permission indexing
-
The connector can index the Google Sites site-level permissions for each item. This means that, in Coveo search interfaces, a user searching Google Sites content only sees the content to which he has access as specified in site-level permissions.
Note: The connector cannot index page-level permissions because this information is not available through the Google Sites API. This means that a user that is denied access to a specific Google Sites page could see this page in Coveo search results.
-
Incremental refresh
-
Supports incremental refresh to periodically query Google Sites for the latest edits, keeping the index content up-to-date.
Note: The incremental refresh has the following limitations:
-
Permission changes alone cannot be detected.
-
Does not work when the last refresh date is more than 30 days, because list of deleted items are only kept for 30 days.
-
-
Multithreading
-
The connector can run multiple threads, which can improve performances considerably.
