Exporting Indexed URLs and Document IDs

Use the AddSearch URL export tool to download a list of all URLs and their corresponding document IDs from your search index. This list helps you verify which pages are indexed and identify any pages or site sections you might want to exclude from search.

How to Export Indexed URLs and IDs​

  1. Log in to your AddSearch account.
  2. Navigate to Index tools in the dashboard menu.
  3. Under the URL export tool, click Start export to begin generating the export file.
  4. Once processing completes, click Download file to save the list to your computer.

Export generation may take a short while depending on the size of your index.

Exported File Format​

The exported file is a semicolon-separated list with two columns: Document URL and Document Id.

Example content:

Document URL;Document Id
"www.example.com/page1";fb32f2e01fb55fe957cec2f93501697f
"www.example.com/page2";2269f9b54bb6b820695995ee01f82a32

The Document Id is the MD5 hash of the corresponding URL.

Exporting a New List​

To generate a new export, click Redo export under the URL export tool and repeat the download process.
