To prevent a directory (and all of its subdirectories) from being indexed, create an empty file named .noindex and place it in the directory. Add a list of files and directories to the .noindex file to prevent those files and directories from being indexed. Wild cards are permitted in the .noindex file. You can also put a .neverindex file in your home directory with a list of files that should never be indexed Kind regards Manuel.
