Subject: Why prevent the mailing list from being indexed?
Date: Mon, 20 May 2019 11:28:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190520102811.cird7ae4a3c4xhpo@chaz.gmail.com> (raw)
I was surprised when a google search on the zsh mailing list
archives turned up nothing when I knew it should (site:zsh.org
ZSH_XTRACEFD) and then saw:
https://www.zsh.org/robots.txt
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /mla/zsh-announce/
Disallow: /mla/zsh-users/
Disallow: /mla/zsh-workers/
Disallow: /pub/old/
Why?
Having google/duckduckgo searches return results from there
would be very useful, especially considering that the mailing
list is also used as an issue tracker and to some extent as a
changelog.
I know (well, I just discovered) it can be queried with
https://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/wilma_glimpse/workers?query=ZSH_XTRACEFD
but you have to know it's there and look explicitely in the ml
as opposed to generally on the web.
