Exclude parts of on-page content from crawler

Elastic Search
1

Our website has a large navigation structure in the header and a lot of legal disclaimers in the footer. Is there a way to have the web crawler not index these parts of the page?

I'm already following these docs to markup parts of the page as custom fields so I thought if I wrapped my main body content with <div data-elastic-name='body_content'> it would override the existing body_contet field, but no such luck.

Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi @tchocky -

At the moment, the web crawler beta does not support excluding parts of page content, however, that functionality is on our short-term roadmap. I cannot comment as to when this will be available, but we are planning it for the future.
