The term "noindex" is not an HTML tag. It is used in the "meta" tag to give instructions to "robots" that collect web pages for search engines. Specifically, <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> tells robots to leave this page out of their search engine indexes.

The tag of 'noindex' tells automatic internet bots to not index the page. The reason why someone would use this is to keep bots from indexing certain websites that you might want to keep hidden.

The html tag noindex is used to avoid indexing a page. In other words, if you want to prevent your page being listed from search engines, you would use this code inside of your meta tags. For example: <html> <head> <meta name="robots" content="noindex" /> <title>Don't index this page</title> </head>
