Sitemap Index Page
Applies To: Microsoft Hyper-V Server 2008 R2, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Vista
The Sitemap Index page lets you maintain a Sitemap index file for your Web site. When you have more than one Sitemap file for your Web site, a Sitemap index lets you conveniently list their locations so that search engines can find them.
To filter the Sitemaps that are displayed for the Sitemap index, 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.
