Google Say Submitted URL marked ‘noindex’
« on: June 14, 2022, 02:13:28 AM »
Google say the Submitted URL is marked ‘noindex’

The URL in question is the search page: https://xyz.com/search   and      https://xyz.com/search/country,Ghana

Is the 'noindex' tag added to these pages/URLs on purpose?

If not, how do I solve it?

It is added to those that has 0 listings or are not canonical (ie links with pagination).
  To get fast support, we need following details: Detail description, URL to reproduce problem, Screenshots

Thank you for the quick reply.

What I am wondering about is that https:/domain.com/search   and  https:/domain.com/search/country,Ghana

both return listings. Why then is google seeing them as marked ‘noindex’ ?

I'm only guessing if I have "https:/domain.com/search/cars" and there is no listing there then that is where it will be marked "noindex". not the other way around or am I missing something here?

Forgive my ignorance, I am new to web development.

Conditions are defined most probably in theme's head.php or search.php, you can check/modify them

Thank you.
I just want to know if the "noindex" warning from Google on the search page is normal as per expert view.

Believe me, editing the theme is the last resort, in fact, I don't wanna mess the site up.  ;D

It is OK until it was really marked to not be indexed. What is trying to be achieved here is to avoid duplicated content.

Check your pages here

https://search.google.com/test/rich-results?utm_campaign=sdtt&utm_medium=url

I see that your site is not a bulletin board, and these pages are used for completely different purposes.
On your pages I didn't find cravings
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">

which Google say is marked as "noindex"

Here is it

User-agent: *
Disallow: /oc-admin/
Disallow: /oc-content/downloads/
Disallow: /oc-content/languages/
Disallow: /oc-content/uploads/HTML/
Disallow: /oc-content/uploads/minify/
Disallow: /oc-content/uploads/temp/
Disallow: /oc-includes/osclass/
Disallow: /oc-includes/vendor/

I hope all is OK? or?

Can you check with your site:  https://yourdomain.com/search   if it is indexed on google?

I want to know if it is a general problem with the theme or only on my website. Thank you

On my site, the page /search/ is also not indexed, "noindex, nofollow", also the pages /search/iPage,2, 3,4, and so on are not indexed. This is done in other themes Gamma, Beta and so on. This is done so that publications are not duplicated, because it is correct to open indexing in the /vehicles/cars categories, and the /search/ page duplicates publications on /vehicles/cars. I guess it's done right.
