Google now indexes SVG
dinsdag, augustus 31, 2010
Webmaster Level: All
You can now use Google search to find SVG documents.
SVG
is an open, XML-based format for vector graphics with support for interactive elements. We’re big fans of open standards, and our mission is to organize the world’s information, so indexing SVG is a natural step.
We index SVG content whether it is in a standalone file or embedded directly in HTML. The web is big, so it may take some time before we crawl and index most SVG files, but as of today you may start seeing them in your search results. If you want to see it yourself, try searching for [
sitemap site:fastsvg.com
] or [
HideShow site:svg-whiz.com
]
If you host SVG files and you wish to exclude them from Google’s search results, you can use the
“X-Robots-Tag: noindex” directive in the HTTP header
.
