Searching a Manila site

I have to admit I'm not that familiar with the new search macro and was
not aware of this utility. I do know that the old method of
indexing/searching was difficult to get working correctly and that
Userland did not fully document the search macro when it was added to
the last release, so it was trial and error trying to figure out how it
works.

Indexes are made to be modified. If that was the case, you'd never get
an updated page indexed correctly. Removing them from google is another
matter, however.

Look at mainResponder.search.utilities.deletePageFromLocalIndex(url)

It does exactly what it would appear to do. Your other option is to
trick the indexer into indexing a blank page at the url of your admin
page.
