I'm sure I'm not the only one to have difficulty with search results by date coming up inaccurate due to a mix of file types (notably PDF and asp/html).
Is there a way for thunderstone appliance to understand the date of asp/html pages based on meta updated_date :
If all of the pages use updated_date instead of modified for the metadata then you can use "Data From Field" to extract the updated_date and store it in the Modified field. Currently all the types of file would need to use the same name for the metadata.
There is no HTML meta data, but there is PDF meta data including last modified and created date. We can set the appliance to look at the PDF last modified date and a meta date value for html/asp pages and sort by date accordingly?
In the Data from Field section I have Meta Field > in the From Field, updated_date in the From Meta Field, and Modify Date in the To Field. Is that correct?
Our meta tag for updated/modified/posted date is <meta name="updated_date" content=" **date&time**">
What is the exact format of **date&time** set in the HTML? It's officially a strict format, although the appliance is rather lenient in what it accepts.
