in thread [RFC] Discipulus's step by step tutorial on module creation with tests and git

This is definitely a concern.

I tried the ddg query site:perlmonks.org "Key bindings in the Debugger" (as that node is, as I write this, a very recent top-level post) and it found nothing.
That is as expected, if we've blocked the crawlers feeding the repo consulted by ddg.

However — I got the same result from the same query on google. (And ditto bing.)

Now, it could be that that node is simply too new, and hasn't been picked up by the crawlers yet.
Am I doing something wrong?

    I can find a 7 days old thread with Google

    https://www.google.com/search?q=%22Largest+integer+in+64-bit+perl+%22++site%3Awww.perlmonks.org

    FWIW: It doesn't change the outcome here, but by experience I prefer

    • putting the site: last
    • searching www.PM.org , since PM.org is blocked by the robots.txt
    For a general approach I'd recommend testing the search engines automatically.

    On a side note: the above search also shows an xml generator output, I'd suppose that should be blocked too

    Edit

    Ehm.... Actually that xml result has one of those extra weird paths which shouldn't work!

    Looks like a bug.
