Re^2: Searching the monastery with duckduckgo leads to ugly results (patch)

OK I provided a patch to the "bare general container" and added a noindex meta-tag in the head. °

After application, this should be effective within days. If successful this could be extended to other page paths like mobile/ and displaytypes like print

The gods are still free to adjust the main robots.txt then, to additionally reduce the load by spiders. :)

> noindex meta-tag in the head unfortunately this didn't have the expected outcome. bare is still shown in the search results, only these pages are not cached by the search engines anymore. We need to adjust the robots.txt, and this can only be done by a god. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply]

according to DDG's website they are getting most of their results from Bing, which in turn is respecting `noindex` and `robots.txt` Search results look indeed similar (lot's of `bare` ATM) -> https://www.bing.com/search?q=schwartzian+transform+perlmonks So solving the problem for Bing should solve it for DDG too. The top result was cashed by bing in 2021-10-05, so updating may take a while. Cheers Rolf _{(addicted to the Perl Programming Language :) Wikisyntax for the Monastery}	[reply] [d/l] [select]
