Description
Currently, all deploys (including for preview builds), are indexable. Non-production deploys should not be indexable. To achieve this one can use, for example, the following in all page <head>s:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

Research direction
Start by locating how the documentation site's page is assembled for preview and production deploys, then review the SEO, Analytics and site-local search criteria linked in the issue. Done means non-production pages emit a robots noindex, nofollow directive while production pages remain indexable; verify both deploy cases.
