deindex

Drop from search

To deindex is to remove something from an index, most commonly a webpage from a search engine's database.

When a site is deindexed, it no longer appears in search results: Google deindexed the site for violating its guidelines.

Website owners may also request to deindex pages containing outdated or sensitive information: She asked to have the old article deindexed.
