-## How to limit what can be searched in the Software Catalog
-
-The Software Catalog includes a wealth of information about the components,
-systems, groups, users, and other aspects of your software ecosystem. However,
-you may not always want _every_ aspect to appear when a user searches the
-catalog. Examples include:
-
-- Entities of kind `Location`, which are often not useful to Backstage users.
-- Entities of kind `User` or `Group`, if you'd prefer that users and groups be
-  exposed to search in a different way (or not at all).
-
-It's possible to write your own [Collator](./concepts.md#collators) to control
-exactly what's available to search, (or a [Decorator](./concepts.md#decorators)
-to filter things out here and there), but the `DefaultCatalogCollator` that's
-provided by `@backstage/plugin-catalog-backend` offers some configuration too!
-
-```ts title="packages/backend/src/plugins/search.ts"
-indexBuilder.addCollator({
-  defaultRefreshIntervalSeconds: 600,
-  collator: DefaultCatalogCollator.fromConfig(env.config, {
-    discovery: env.discovery,
-    tokenManager: env.tokenManager,
-    /* highlight-add-start */
-    filter: {
-      kind: ['API', 'Component', 'Domain', 'Group', 'System', 'User'],
-    },
-    /* highlight-add-end */
-  }),
-});
-```
-
-As shown above, you can add a catalog entity filter to narrow down what catalog
-entities are indexed by the search engine.
