C# Razor Page disable all /Index Route for Folders?

Hello currently I'm playing with Razor Page and wanted to ask, if there is a possibility to actually do not allow accessing the Index Page directly.

I.e. I have multiple Folders:

now I want to allow people to access them via /Search and /Document, but if anybody calls /Search/Index directly, he should be defaulted, to the "default" 404 handler, is this possible?

You can achieve this with a custom Page route action convention. A convention allows you to customise the routes that apply to a page at either the page, area or folder level. To customise the routing for all pages, you can use a folder of /. Here's an example of how you can remove the Index routes:

services
    .AddMvc()
    .AddRazorPagesOptions(options =>
    {
        options.Conventions.AddFolderRouteModelConvention("/", model =>
        {
            var selectorCount = model.Selectors.Count;

            // Go down in reverse order to simplify removing from a list that's being iterated.
            for (var i = selectorCount - 1; i >= 0; i--)
            {
                var selectorTemplate = model.Selectors[i].AttributeRouteModel.Template;

                if (selectorTemplate.EndsWith("Index")) // Perhaps be more specific here.
                    model.Selectors.RemoveAt(i);
            }
        });
    });

Note that for the Index page at the root, the selector to remove is Index (not /Index), whereas for your others it is Page/Index. I've kept it simple in the example, but this will also remove any Pages that have Index as part of their name (it's unlikely this will matter, but it's worth mentioning).
