deindexed

Removed from searches

Deindexed describes content that has been removed from a search engine's index, making it no longer appear in search results.

A website might be deindexed as punishment for violating guidelines, or intentionally to remove outdated material: Google deindexed the site after detecting spam.

The term extends to any removal from a searchable database or catalog.
