Thank you very much, though tt_news is not my extension, I've just been 
looking after the list since Rupert Germann seems to be too busy to do 
so himself :p

I suppose that just comes down to how you've configured your LIST and 
LATEST tt_news plugins. As you have multiple news repositories in your 
backend I assume you also have multiple news repositories in the 
frontend of your site.

In this case the solution is rather simple: just make sure, either via 
extension templates or by setting the singlePid value directly in the 
tt_news plugin (useful if you have more than one LIST or LATEST on the 
same page), that each LIST or LATEST plugin links to their articles on 
the correct SINGLE page.

This is obviously not going to be possible if you list articles from 
multiple repositories in the same LIST or LATEST plugins.

The SEARCH display mode will indeed search all of the articles which it 
finds inside the 'plugin.tt_news.pid_list' sys-folder(s) you have defined.

AFAIK (and I am not all that familiar with the crawler extension) you 
still need to point the crawler to actual T3 pages for it to index their 
content. Therefore I'm not sure you'll be able to target a sys-folder 
directly.

I did see in the crawler's configuration that it is possible to restrict 
it to certain page IDs using the 'paramSets.[key].pidsOnly' setting. 
Maybe this could help?

Best regards,

Oliver
