I’ve tried googling some of the introductory notebooks and haven’t been able to find them (thought I’ve found references to them). Are notebooks not indexed by google/ other search engines?
I was thinking of making a my blog into a notebook (with interactive how tos) but want it to be searchable.
Cheers

nevermind, I can see they are index 
Thanks for raising this. I just found that even shared (not ‘published’ notebooks) are being indexed by Google. This makes me a bit more reluctant to share out works in progress to friends and colleagues 
Could you DM me an example? I noticed that the robots property is missing in the server-side rendered markup (but present when hydrated). It’s likely that someone shared the link publicly and then Google failed to recognize the tag.
@tom It would probably be a good idea to add the noindex flag server-side?
Edit: Googling for site:observablehq.com/d/ yields plenty of results. It appears that most of them get picked up when they are shared on talk.observablehq.com.
Looking into this now. We already do add noindex tags server-side, but these look like old copies of pages.
Did this get changed? Now googling for site:observablehq.com/d/ doesn’t seem to turn up anything.
Yes – though we implemented server-rendered noindex tags, there was a period of time last year when we didn’t have noindex tags, and Google never recrawled those pages. I filed a manual removal request for those, to clean them up.
Hi, I am relatively new here but I have published several notebooks intended to inform the public generally and I am quite surprised to find that my notebooks are not discoverable on Google even if I search for their exact titles. Why would anyone want a public notebook to not be indexed? Isn’t the desire for discoverability implied by the choice between listed and unlisted?
Example search: Vacancies among East Bay apartments +site:observablehq.com - Google Search
This turns up one of my other notebooks but not the named one that I made public more than a month ago. Is it possible that something about the recent transition to “pro”-style sharing has broken discoverability?
