I recently went looking for a forum discussion I participated in in early January.
Usually a simple google search will get me back to a past discussion quite easily using "site:contribs.org <search term here>".
However, as of this morning I cannot find any word in this discussion that will cause a google search to succeed:
How to update completely and properly a SME?To find the discussion I eventually had to do this:
- look through ~/.bash_history on the system I used to test things
- use the forum search function to look for one of the words included in the command ("repoquery")
Looking at the source code for the discussion in question, I noticed this directive, which will prevent the post from being included in google search results:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
