: How should I deal with Search page for SEO A website I'm building has a product search page with many options. Name, size, category, etc. Currently the url is search.php and the GET string

A website I'm building has a product search page with many options. Name, size, category, etc.

Currently the url is search.php and the GET string (when the user submits the form) effectively just returns search.php?name=abc&size=3,6,8&category=12&available=yes etc.

Is this best for SEO or should I construct some URL like search/name/abc/size/3,6,8/category/12/available/yes or similar? I could just exclude the entire search.php page in the robots file, which seems sensible, as it's not a massively optimised page for any particular keywords.

Historically, Google have recommended using robots.txt to block search results pages.

Whilst their Webmaster Guidelines no longer say this explicitly, it's still considered good practice to block indexing these pages. I like the technique Yoast uses, which involves including a <meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow"/> tag. This way Google can still crawl the page and find links to your products, but won't index the page itself.
