Not sure if Common Crawl already filters those pages, but we should do it on our side too anyway.

Some pointers:

  • Add a is_indexable method to Document
  • HTMLDocument.is_indexable() should test for the presence of noindex in self.head_metas["robots"]
  • Documents should be skipped accordingly in indexer.py
  • To support nofollow we could simply test for its presence in close_tag
