# nothing here for an index — but a crawler following it would spend requests

# /slip, /search and /predict are deliberately NOT listed here: they carry a
# noindex meta tag, and a crawler can only read that if it is allowed to fetch
# the page. Disallowing a URL does not keep it out of the index — it can still
# be indexed from links, just with no title — so the meta tag is the tool.

# The parameters below choose a view of a page rather than a different page.
# Left crawlable they turn one radar into thousands of near-identical URLs.
