Blocked searches

[hookah]

Hello,
in the Settings section for each domain there are a few columns showing so called 'blocked searches' for each continent. Can you, please, explain me how it works exactly, why some searches ar blocked and what happens if I unmark some searches (will they become unblocked?)?

thanks, hookah

Ps. Iwas searching this forum but it is hard to find a full explanation.

Hi Hookah,

This question was actually asked on another forum last week, so I can happily reproduce my answer from there

The User Searches are the searches made by people coming to the domain. It is either them searching for something in the box or clicking one of the related searches links on the left.

The more terms which are searched and clicked by the users, the higher they appear on the related searches on the left of a domain for subsequent users.

If you find there are some terms which have been searched by users which you do not want to appear on your domain, then you can block them from appearing by unchecking the tick box on the left and clicking "save changes".

"Show blocked searches" shows the searches which you have decided to block.
I hope this clears up what these searches do / mean. Let me know if you have any further questions.

Ed

So, if i understand correctly, unchecked box means 'blocked searches' but checked box means 'unblocked searches'. Now I know well...it is not so intuitive
Thanks for your response.

Hi Hookah,

The ones checked are the ones which will be considered for appearing on your parked pages. The ones which are unchecked (and greyed out) will be blocked.
