Internal Search Filter

Hello,

I apologize for the issue you faced with internal site search spam last year. When switching from Yoast Premium to Rank Math Pro, you’ll find that Rank Math offers a feature to help combat internal site search spam.

Rank Math allows you to enable or disable the indexing of search result pages, which can help prevent unwanted internal search functions that could be exploited for spam. By navigating to Rank Math SEO → Tiles & Meta → Misc Pages in your WordPress dashboard, you can enable the Noindex Search Results option to prevent these pages from being indexed.

Here is a screenshot to guide you on how to enable this setting:

Enabling this setting can assist in blocking unwanted internal search functions that may lead to spam issues on your site.

If you have any further questions or need assistance during the transition, feel free to reach out to our dedicated support team, available 24/7, 365 days a year.

Thank you for considering Rank Math Pro as your SEO solution. Let us know if there is anything else we can help you with.

Best regards,
