Search sitemap configuration in mini program

WeChat has now opened search within mini-programs . Developers can configure whether their mini-program pages are allowed to be indexed by WeChat through sitemap.json configuration or by managing the backend page inclusion switch. When developers allow WeChat indexing, WeChat will index the page content of the Mini Program through crawlers. When a user's search term triggers the index, the Mini Program's page may be displayed in the search results. When a crawler accesses a page in a mini program, it carries a specific user-agent: mpcrawler and a scenario value: 1129. It should be noted that if the page data discovered by the mini program crawler is inconsistent with the presentation of the real user, the page will not be included in the index.

Sitemap Configuration

The sitemap.json file in the root directory of the Mini Program is used to configure whether the Mini Program and its pages are allowed to be indexed by WeChat. The file content is a JSON object. If there is no sitemap.json, all pages are allowed to be indexed by default; sitemap.json has the following properties:

Configuration items

rules

The rules configuration item specifies the index rules. Each rule is a JSON object with the following properties:

Configuration Example

Example 1

 {
  "rules":[{
    "action": "allow",
    "page": "path/to/page",
    "params": ["a", "b"],
    "matching": "exact"
  }, {
    "action": "disallow",
    "page": "path/to/page"
  }]}

• path/to/page?a=1&b=2 => Priority index
• path/to/page => not indexed
• path/to/page?a=1 => not indexed
• path/to/page?a=1&b=2&c=3 => not indexed
• All other pages will be indexed

Example 2

 {
  "rules":[{
    "action": "allow",
    "page": "path/to/page",
    "params": ["a", "b"],
    "matching": "inclusive"
  }, {
    "action": "disallow",
    "page": "path/to/page"
  }]}

• path/to/page?a=1&b=2 => Priority index
• path/to/page?a=1&b=2&c=3 => Priority index
• path/to/page => not indexed
• path/to/page?a=1 => not indexed
• All other pages will be indexed

Example 3

 {
  "rules":[{
    "action": "allow",
    "page": "path/to/page",
    "params": ["a", "b"],
    "matching": "exclusive"
  }, {
    "action": "disallow",
    "page": "path/to/page"
  }]}

• path/to/page => priority index
• path/to/page?c=3 => Priority index
• path/to/page?a=1 => not indexed
• path/to/page?a=1&b=2 => not indexed
• All other pages will be indexed

Example 4

 {
  "rules":[{
    "action": "allow",
    "page": "path/to/page",
    "params": ["a", "b"],
    "matching": "partial"
  }, {
    "action": "disallow",
    "page": "path/to/page"
  }]}

• path/to/page?a=1 => Priority index
• path/to/page?a=1&b=2 => Priority index
• path/to/page => not indexed
• path/to/page?c=3 => not indexed
• All other pages will be indexed

Note: If there is no sitemap.json, all pages can be indexed by default

Note: {"action": "allow", "page": "*"} is the default rule with the lowest priority. All pages without "disallow" are indexed by default.
