Blocking Page from Search Engines

[ep2002]

Hi there,

How do you block a page so it doesn't show up in the search engine, but it's still live?

I thought you just click on the green checkmark under "active", but that makes me think the page won't load at all.

Thanks

On the OPTIONS tab of your page is a checkbox that says THIS PAGE IS SEACHABLE.
Uncheck it!

Give it a noindex tag in the header?

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

That option is something completely different:

"This page is searchable: Make a page searchable for the Search Module or not. Uncheck it and the search module will ignore this page."

Sorry for the delay, I'm swamped looking for new housing.

So will unchecking that do the trick? Someone said yes, the other person said no.

I don't want to mess with code, as I'm not a website coder & am still looking for a new one.

Thanks

And have you tried it?
Have you read the link to the user handbook?

"This page is searchable: Make a page searchable for the Search Module or not. Uncheck it and the search module will ignore this page."

Also, there is no need to be scared to add that line to your code, it will not mess anything up. It's not rocketscience, you know.
It's actually common practice and very well documented on the interwebs.

I don't have time to read long pages. I'm the owner of the company, not a worker, I thought there was a quick fix.

I have the older versions of CMS running, so that text isn't what I'm seeing.

What did the older text say so I can uncheck that?

Cacheable?

Thanks
