Is there any way to hide "admin" type pages from users? What I mean is that
when I go to an index or search results, not only does all of the user
created pages/content show up, but so does all of the admin pages and pages
related to the structure of the XWiki platform. Given that some of my XWiki
users are not savvy programming types, I want to avoid them even being able
to see these pages. They tend to distract and confuse.
Is there a way to have only end user created content appear in searches,
what's new and index pages?
Thank you.

There are several ways:
1) exclude them from the search. We already do that for several pages.
For example if you go to http://localhost:8080/xwiki/bin/edit/XWiki/WebSearchCode
you'll see this line:
#set ($excludedWebs = "doc.space<>'XWiki' and
doc.space<>'Admin' and
doc.space<>'Panels' and doc.name<>'WebPreferences' and")
2) Mark the pages as hidden. This is a new feature we've added in
1.8M1. We need to mark ourselves those technical pages as hidden in
the default XE XAR. Especially since there's no UI to do that right
now. Also note that this is a temporary hack while we work on the new
model. If you really want to mark a page as hidden you can edit that
page in wiki mode, type the following 2 lines, hit preview and then
cancel:
$doc.document.setHidden(true)
$doc.save()
3) However the best solution is to move your hidden pages to the XWiki
space since that space is a technical space that doesn't appear in
search results as is show in 1). We normally do that for pages that we
consider shouldn't appear in search results. Let us know if we missed
some pages that should be hidden.

One more solution still is to hide the regular "Index" from any regular
users of the
system, replacing the URL in the panel/navbar with a specific and narrow
index to one or more spaces, e.g. hardcode the following in place of
existing UI access links to "Index"
"$xwiki.getURL("Main.SpaceIndex, "view",
"space=theworkplace")"
Alternately, you can create a single page containing multiple indexes (w/
the 3 lines taken from Main.SpaceIndex):
By adding multiple sequences of these three lines in a custom index document
for your organization, you can provide easy access to the specific places
you want.
For each "space" you want an index presented, use the code below to create
an index of one space (for multiple, change to doc.space='theworkplace' or
doc.space='...' etc)
#set ($sql = "where doc.space='theworkplace' order by doc.name asc")
#set ($list = $xwiki.searchDocuments($sql))
#includeInContext("XWiki.Results")

PS: i think it would be useful if each space's 'WebHome' was automatically
created and had the above three lines already preinstalled, with doc.space
set to the current space of the WebHome...
