Hi,

Is it normal to have two meta tags on search page when showing source code on the browser ?

     <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
     <meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow" />

And :

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
    <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, nofollow" />


Regards.

Go to:
oc-content/themes/veronika/head.php

Find:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow" />

Replace with:
<?php if( !osc_is_search_page() )  { ?>
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow" />
<?php } ?>

If I do this, i will also have noindex, nofollow and index, follow meta tags because of this condition in search.php page :

  <?php if( osc_count_items() == 0 || Params::getParam('iPage') > 0 || stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'search') )  { ?>
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />
    <meta name="googlebot" content="noindex, nofollow" />
  <?php } else { ?>
    <meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
    <meta name="googlebot" content="index, follow" />
  <?php } ?>


This one creates a lot of indexed pages in google, but i guess this condition has to index just categories and regions/cities, not all combinations possibilities of search page !

Regards.
