Description Stig Meireles Johansen 2010-06-28 21:13:38 UTC 
Shouldn't Lucene-search also respect the __NOINDEX__ tag? If not, there should exist another magic word to stop certain pages from being indexed and searchable. Alternatively a "robots.txt" file (maybe a better solution to be able to restrict this exclusion-feature to admins only) in the MediaWiki-namespace should be consulted.

What is a rationale for a change like this? Why should we have content that cannot be found in any way except from direct link?
Comment 5 Stig Meireles Johansen 2011-03-26 07:33:07 UTC 
Well, one use-case would be in situations like this:

Comment 7 Bachsau 2012-04-14 12:51:12 UTC 
I wouldn't want a new magic word. May a config option, if __NOINDEX__ should also apply to internal search would do.
