I'm trying to add refinements to my google custom search. I have meta tags on just about every page of the site, such as
<meta name="type-id" content="241" />
Where there are many different types, and I want to have one refinement for each type. In the docs, it says
You can also use these more:pagemap: operators with refinement labels
But I have been unable to do that.
Note that I have had success using more:pagemap:metatags-type-id:241
in the search input, or as a webSearchQueryAddition
- but despite googles docs, I haven't been able to get it to work with a refinement.
Here's a sample from my cse.xml (removing some attributes from the CustomSearchEngine tag):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<CustomSearchEngine>
<Title>Test</Title>
<Context>
<Facet>
<FacetItem>
<Label name="videos" mode="FILTER">
<Rewrite>more:p:metatags-article-keyword:121</Rewrite>
</Label>
<Title>Videos</Title>
</FacetItem>
</Facet>
</Context>
</CustomSearchEngine>
Is this supposed to work? Am I using wrong syntax in the rewrite rule? Has anyone else done something like this?
Your label in the facet should be mode="BOOST" if you want to restrict to a structured data field within the scope of your engine.
<Facet>
<FacetItem>
<Label name="videos" mode="BOOST">
<Rewrite>more:p:metatags-article-keyword:121</Rewrite>
</Label>
<Title>Videos</Title>
</FacetItem>
</Facet>
