Red Question MarkFAQ

I've enabled search engine indexing on my doc, but the source code still shows a no-index tag.

It is correct that even when your doc is shared publicly and has search engine indexing enabled, there will still be no-index tag showing when you check the source code of your doc. This is because we present a different, more optimized version of your doc to search engines. This version does not include the no-index tag.
