Update from code changes: clarify noindex behavior for site search

[mintlify]

Summary

Corrects the documented behavior of page-level noindex: true so it matches how Mintlify now treats those pages: they are excluded from site search (in addition to search engines and AI context), while remaining visible in navigation.

Changes

• Update the visibility/indexing table in the hidden pages guide to show noindex: true as excluded from site search and sitemaps.
• Reword the "hidden versus noindex" explanation to list all surfaces a noindex page is excluded from.
• Expand the noindex frontmatter field description on the page frontmatter reference.
• Mirror these updates across the Spanish, French, and Chinese translations.

Context

A recent change restored exclusion of page-level noindex: true pages from internal (in-product) search across both seo.indexing modes. The existing docs still described these pages as included in site search, which is no longer accurate.

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only edits with no application or config behavior changes.

Overview
Documentation now states that page-level noindex: true keeps the page in the sidebar but excludes it from site search and sitemaps, not only search engines and AI context—matching restored product behavior.

Updates include the visibility/indexing table on the hidden-pages guide, the hidden vs noindex section, and the noindex frontmatter description on the pages reference. The English hidden-pages guide also reframes the usage tip as excluding from “search and indexing” while staying in navigation. The same corrections are applied in Spanish, French, and Chinese (es, fr, zh).
