+# Search engines indexation of your Gitea installation
+
+By default your Gitea installation will be indexed by search engines.
+If you don't want your repository to be visible for search engines read further.
+
+## Block search engines indexation using robots.txt
+
+To make Gitea serve a custom `robots.txt` (default: empty 404) for top level installations,
+create a file called `robots.txt` in the [`custom` folder or `CustomPath`]({{< relref "doc/advanced/customizing-gitea.en-us.md" >}})
+
+Examples on how to configure the `robots.txt` can be found at [https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt](https://moz.com/learn/seo/robotstxt).
+
+
+```txt
+User-agent: *
+Disallow: /
+```
+
+If you installed Gitea in a subdirectory, you will need to create or edit the `robots.txt` in the top level directory.
+
+```txt
+User-agent: *
+Disallow: /gitea/
+```
