# Search Engines Indexation
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 with path `public/robots.txt` in the [`custom` folder or `CustomPath`](../administration/customizing-gitea.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/
```
