I am looking to hide a site so that it doesn't show up in any search engine just wondering how I would go about this?

Block Indexing For this, you add a noindex robots meta tag to your pages. A noindex tag tells search engines not to index that page until after they crawl it. Users don't see the meta tag and can still access the page normally.
You can prevent new content from appearing in results by adding the URL slug to a robots. txt file. Search engines use these files to understand how to index a website's content. If search engines have already indexed your content, you can add a "noindex" meta tag to the content's head HTML.
To browse the web privately, you can use private browsing, sign out of your account, change your custom results settings, or delete past activity. If you want to search the web without saving your search activity to your account, you can use private browsing mode in a browser (like Chrome or Safari).
Change your privacy settings This is the fastest way to hide your entire site. Go to Settings, scroll down to Privacy, and select whether you want your site to be Public, Hidden, or Private. Select Hidden to prevent search engines from indexing your site altogether.
You can make your site private to hide it from all visitors and search engines, add a password to make it accessible to some visitors, or make it public when the site is ready for everyone.
