## MetaExtension googlebot

Is used to tell the google crawler specifically, what to do with search results from your website. 

Google announced in 2017 that this tag is no longer supported, which is why it's marked as <span class="badge bg-danger">Unsupported</span>. Use a [`robots.txt`](https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/robots/intro) instead.

## Usage

````html
<meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,nofollow">
````

`content` may be:

|----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
