How Search Deindexing Works
How deindexing can reduce visibility of abusive pages without necessarily removing the underlying page.
Deindexing targets the search result
A deindexing request asks a search engine to review whether a specific URL should remain visible in search results.
The page may still exist
If the host does not remove the page, the content may still be reachable directly even when a search engine limits the result.
Evidence should be URL-specific
Search engines review precise URLs, original source references, and the basis for the request.
