Search endpoints are no longer indexed by crawlers

We've disabled the Online Store search endpoint from being indexed by malicious and fraudulent search queries routed through search engine crawlers, to provide greater stability for your store and admin search.

As a result, crawlers like Googlebot will no longer index pages that begin with /search. This will have no effect on product pages, collections or any other Online Store page. It also has no effect on visitors using your store's search.
