Website Search Specifications define the criteria used to detect infringing content on the web. By setting up these specifications, you ensure that the system captures the most relevant findings while filtering out irrelevant content.
Components of a Website Search Specification
The specification consists of the following components:
- Inclusive Search Terms:
Specify the keyword that must appear for the websites to be captured. These are typically your brand name, product name, or any other unique identifier related to your IP.
- Exclusive Search Terms:
Exclude certain keywords from your results by adding them here. If any of these terms appear in a website's title, the finding will be excluded from the results.
- Description:
Add context or notes about the website search. This field helps keep track of the search's purpose but does not influence the search process.
- Linked IP Records:
Connect relevant IP records to the specification. These related records streamline the process when creating complaints, allowing for faster actions when infringements are detected.
- Authentic URLs:
Add URLs that point to your official or genuine content. These URLs serve as a reference point when generating complaints, making it clear what the legitimate content looks like.
- Search Frequency:
Choose how often the search runs. You can schedule it to run weekly, every second week, third week, or fourth week, depending on your monitoring needs.
Why Are Search Specifications Important?
Setting up accurate specifications helps you:
- Capture the most relevant findings.
- Reduce noise by filtering out unrelated content.
- Streamline complaint generation by associating IP records and authentic URLs.
