+## Robots and crawlers
+
+Shaarli disallows indexing and crawling of your local documentation pages by search engines, using `<meta name="robots">` HTML tags.
+Your Shaarli instance and other pages you host may still be indexed by various robots on the public Internet.
+You may want to setup a robots.txt file or other crawler control mechanism on your server.
