This controls what well-behaved crawlers will or will not index - this is more a general Apache/web server configuration thing, than a Koha thing. XML sitemaps =========== Koha has an optional sitemap cronjob that generates an XML sitemap that search engines such as Google use - see: - https://www.sitemaps.org/ - https://koha-community.org/manual/20.05/en/html/cron_jobs.html#sitemap (the manual information about the sitemap script in Koha) - https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=11190 (the original bug it was introduced in) - https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/183668?hl=en (Google webmaster sitemap information) It basically (when setup right) gives search engines a definitive list of all the content you want indexed. Rich snippets in search engine results (schema.org) ======================================== The Koha OPAC includes schema.org metadata in pages for records (look at the source for a record in the OPAC), this can add useful "snippets" to search engine results.
