I was documenting the finder schema and found a few things that seem redundant/not-utilised.
-
I'm wondering if we can remove "search" as a document type. Initially, "search" was specified as a document type to ensure the advanced search finder wasn't indexed. By giving it this document type, we could prevent the /search/advanced finder from being indexed. However, it appears that this finder is no longer in use, as indicated by this commit.
-
'No_index'. I was only able to find one instance of this property being used. It also seems like it was only used for Brexit, so I'm wondering if it is still relevant.
-
'Generic_description'. The only trace I could find of this in use was in this commit, in which it is being removed. It looks like it was used for Brexit, so I again am wondering if we still need it.
-
'Logo_path'. It doesn't appear that this property is widely used, it was introduced in this PR from 2015. I assume this is very outdated now, so again i'm wondering if we can get rid.
-
'Canonical_link'. This one again looks outdated, and doesn't seem widely used.
