Even though I use Google Custom Search for my blog, I get a lot of WordPress's internal search results pages indexed by robots. Didn't want that to happen anymore, so I wrote a simple plugin to address the issue. Maybe someone will find it useful:
<?php /* Plugin Name: Unindex Search Plugin URI: http://www.barneyb.com/ Description: Addes a NOINDEX meta tag for search result pages Author: Barney Boisvert Version: 0.1 */ add_action('wp_head', 'unindexsearch_head'); function unindexsearch_head() { if (is_search()) { ?><meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX" /> <?php } } ?>
Simply checks if it's a search page and if so writes out the META tag.
