Google: Disabling the appliance-hosted search page?

Question

Is there a way to disable or password-protect the search page hosted on a Google Mini appliance? I'm referring to the page descriped in option 1 here.

I basically want to prevent someone from stumbling onto this URL and searching here rather than through one of the actual sites using the appliance.

Answer 1

Try some of these:

• delete the default front end
• delete the default collection
• set the Follow and Crawl URLs for the default collection to blank
• edit the XSLT stylesheet under Serving > Front Ends > Output format.

My experience is with the Google Search Applicance, so I hope this works on the Mini too.
