Editing Noindex (section)

=== <noindex> tag ===
The Russian search engine [[Yandex]] introduced a new <nowiki><noindex></nowiki> tag which prevents indexing of the content between the tags. To allow the source code to validate, <nowiki><!--noindex--></nowiki> alternatively can be used:<ref>{{cite web |url=http://help.yandex.com/webmaster/controlling-robot/html.xml#noindex |title=Using HTML tags |work=webmaster → help |publisher=[[Yandex]] |at=Section: &lt;noindex&gt; tag |access-date=March 25, 2013}}</ref>
<syntaxhighlight lang="html">
<p>
Do index this text.
<noindex>Don't index this text.</noindex>
<!--noindex-->Don't index this text.<!--/noindex-->
</p>
</syntaxhighlight>

Other [[Web crawler|indexing spider]]s also recognize the <nowiki><noindex></nowiki> tag, including [[Atomz]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://center.atomz.com/center/help/?sp_topic=/Search/FAQs/General_Search#150 |title=General Search FAQ |year=2013 |work=Help |publisher=[[Atomz]] |at=Section: How do I exclude parts of my site from being searched? |access-date=March 23, 2013 |quote=Need to prevent parts of individual pages from being searched? If you want to exclude portions of a page from indexing, surround the text with &lt;noindex&gt; and &lt;/noindex&gt; tags. This is useful, for example, if you want to exclude navigation text from searches. |archive-date=December 8, 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211208074738/https://center.atomz.com/center/help/?sp_topic=/Search/FAQs/General_Search#150 |url-status=dead }}{{registration required}}</ref>
