      Matching Options

      SiteSpect offers several matching options to help refine your trigger definition. The entire list of URL Trigger options looks like this:

      • Exactly ("Equals" in SuperFresh)
      • Does not match exactly ("Doesn't equal" in SuperFresh)
      • Contains
      • Does not contain
      • Starts with
      • Does not start with
      • Ends with
      • Does not end with
      • Regex
      • Does not match regex

      Entering a URL

      When you enter a URL, do not include the domain name. For example, to match the URL:

      http://www.example.com/my/page.html


      Use the following regular expression:

      ^/my/page\.html.


      To match multiple URLs, use the regex alternator (|) operator between each URL path:

      ^/my/(page1|page2|page3)\.html

      If the homepage is accessible through / as well as /index.html, use both URLs by using a pattern such as:

      ^/(index\.html)?(\?|$)

       

      For the best regex performance when matching URLs, begin the pattern with the regex left anchor (^) operator and a forward slash (/) whenever possible.
