Remove website from search engines using robot.txt.liquid

Store Design

Hi All!

I want to remove my entire website from being indexed on any search engine.

I’ve tried the solution where you add the code:

{% if template contains ‘search’ %} {% endif %}
to the section of the theme.liquid layout file, however that doesn’t seem to block the homepage from being indexed.

I am hoping there is a way to use the robot.txt.liquid to block the entire site including home page.

Is it possible? Could someone provide step by step instructions?

Please help! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi @PageFly-Noah

Thanks so much for your response.
I’ve put the code in, per the screenshot attached - is that correct?

Also do you know, will the site be removed from search engines if it was already indexed?

For example the homepage has been returning in a Google search (because my coding was wrong), will it eventually stop returning in the search because I’ve now put the correct code in?

Thanks for your help on this! :clap:
