narrowband: Google search only works IF your sites/articles are listed in their search engine.

Jacky got it right. Those crawlers will crawl deep down into your links, and that includes your archives. Allow at least a week to see your page being listed though.

Wah, those number plates are cool! Can we have it in Malaysia? Maybe need to pay JPJ some coffee money eh?

narrowband, no I think the crawlers will index all pages that are accessible, and not specifically only those posted from THE DAY.

Oh! U know why? If you noticed, I’m using Technorati searchlet on my left sidebar to search my archives. But I find it very unstable, it’s like a gamble each time - sometimes you get what you want, sometimes you don’t.

I’ve seen papimami’s one (http://papimami.blogspot.com), he’s using a Google one. I tried installing one powered by Google, but it kept returning 0 results. Then I realised my robots setting all this while had been “noindex,nofollow”.

I’ve just changed it to “index,follow” yesterday, do you think this will correct the problem, and allow me to use Google’s search engine on my site? Since I have just enabled robots YESTERDAY, will the crawlers pick up my archived posts as well (those dated months back)?

Because if you tell me this: The crawlers will only pick up from THE DAY you enable “index,follow” (which was just yesterday)… That means my archived posts will not be picked up by the crawlers loh?

Narrowband: The correct format should be like this.

Robots (crawlers) visits any websites on the Internet, and if your site is up for long enough (few weeks or more), chances are, they’ve been crawled. But since the tag tells the robots to stay away from the site, any links within the site will not be explored, indexed, nor followed.

Thus, no aggregation of your site to the search engine.

Tomas: I shall notify you when it’s done.

Alex, because you seem like someone who’d know, I’d like to ask you something.

Web robots (crawlers/spyders/etc) function to go around the internet collecting data right? If a webmaster set his site like this (in his html code):
Meta-name: robot; noindex,nofollow (i forgot the exact tag format)

Does that mean that search engine won’t be able to aggregate his site because no crawlers ever visited his page?

yo Neng…Haha.. Speaking of number plates, i wanted to share this with you. The coolest number plate tat i’ve ever seen was “BITE U” in Beemer back in Auckland, NZ.

Besides, the funniest number plate tat i’ve ever seen in Malaysia was “BAB1″ which means pig in english.
