Sitemap Page
Applies To: Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista
The Sitemap page lets you maintain a Sitemap file for your Web site. A Sitemap file lists the URLs in your Web site that are available for search engines to index.
To filter the display of URLs in the current Sitemap, enter search text in the Filter box and click Go. To remove the filter, click Show All. Sort the list by clicking one of the feature page column headings or select a value from the Group by drop-down list. You can group the Sitemap entries by selecting Change Frequency, Priority, or No Grouping.
