Google has a generic "google" meta tag for controlling some aspects of their search indexing:

  • Do not enable the sitelinks search box: <meta name="google" content="nositelinkssearchbox" />
  • Do not attempt an automatic translation of the content into other languages: <meta name="google" content="notranslate" />

A first attempt to implement Google nositelinkssearchbox metatag for Drupal 8.
Looks like this metatag it is not generic for all search engines so must be under google name.
The nostranslate metatag it is already implemented in the module.

Testbot says everything is ok, should this issue be in RTBC?

This patch is hardcoded for the first scenario, it doesn't allow for the second scenario.

Attached is an updated patch. The patch in #2 had one field for nositelinkssearchbox using a checkbox, and had the field incorrectly in the Google Custom Search Engine (CSE) module.

The attached patch moves the field into the main metatag module, and puts it in the advanced group. It also changes it to a text input so users can add nositelinkssearchbox, notranslate, or both. I also updated the field's description to include more details, and a link to the Meta tags that Google understands Search Console help article.

Google Webmaster Trends Analyst John Mu confirmed that these tags can be combined in this week's Google Webmaster Hangout.

A small improvement to the wording, and to note the comment from the video that they can be combined if comma-separated.

Hi,

I'm not able to see the google field under advanced section on a drupal vanila instance. I can see the code in codebase but not displaying.
