noindex,follow your WordPress search result pages

16 August 2007 Joost de Valk 9 comments, leave your own!

The webmaster guidelines advise you to prevent your search result pages from being indexed, WordPress doesn't do that by default (yet), so I've written a small noindex-search plugin which takes care of that by adding a meta robots noindex,follow tag to search result pages.

    I just want to what is the use of this plugin. I mean why we have to prevent your search result pages from being indexed. Does it affect PR?
