Keep a page out of search engines in Stati

noindex, the sitemap and the site's own search, from the page's front matter and one config line.

seo.noindex adds <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to the page, and sitemap.exclude keeps it out of sitemap.xml. For more than that, seo.robots takes a string ('noindex, nofollow') or an object ({ index: false, follow: false }).

The site's own search index is set in one place in the config, with URL patterns:

typescript

search: {
  enabled: true,
  exclude: ['/thanks', '/private', '/private/**'],
},

A pattern has to match the whole URL, so /private/** covers the pages under /private but not /private itself.

Robots tags only ask crawlers to look away. The page is still public to anyone with the link, so put anything private behind real access control.
