Google uses comments for the same purpose: <!--googleoff: index--> ... <!--googleon: index-->

[edit] NOINDEX

Can anyone confirm this? It sounds general, but I know of not a single reference anywhere. projectphp 00:13, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

AFIK, NOINDEX tag has been introduced by Yandex, a russian search engine, see Yandex help page (in Russian). 212.176.39.52 12:12, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] <!--noindex--> / <!--/noindex-->

One another way to exclude a portion of webpage from indexing is used by ASPSeek and DataparkSearch search engines: two special comments for the begin and the end of region to exclude <!--noindex--> / <!--/noindex-->, see DataparkSearch's documentation.
