    Hi Yoast Support Team,

    I have enabled all options in the Search Appearance settings of the Yoast SEO plugin, including Pages, Posts, Categories, …. . However, my search pages are still being excluded with a noindex tag. (meta name=’robots’ content=’noindex, follow’)

    Example: https://garmaonhealth.com/?s=autophagy

    Here is my current robots.txt file: https://garmaonhealth.com/robots.txt

    Could you please help me understand why my search pages are still noindex despite the correct settings? Thank you!

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hello @tranthaitoan2003

    Thanks for reaching out. Yoast SEO sets internal site search pages to noindex by default; this is one of the hidden featues of the plugin based on Google’s Search Essentials documentation. Google wants to prevent users from going from a search result in Google to a search result page on a website. Google, justly, considers that bad user experience.
