Hi

Indexing is controlled at the property level at the moment and not per instance. Indexing of content could be made senstive to location/properties etc but that is not there now. Indexing behaviour is not an aspect.

If you are trying to limit who can find particular html documents after they are indexed I would just use permissions. Search results reflect permissions.

To limit the indexing of zip files, presumably by mime type, then you need a converter from zip to text content that produces no text. I will have to check what would happen for the default conversion.
