Scope and evidence

Evaluated on preferred origin. The book marks this requirement SUPPORTED, SEARCH-ENGINE-SPECIFIC. It needs config; without that input the rule reports as not evaluated rather than guessing.

IndexNow notifies Bing and other participating engines; Google is not listed as a participant (INDEXNOW-FAQ).

Observations

Each condition has a stable code and a reason template. The evaluator fills the placeholders from observed values only; no sentence in a report is generated.

  • key_file

    The IndexNow key file {key_url} returned {outcome}; its trimmed body {body_match} the configured key.

Sources, quoted

These are the passages the rule rests on, stored once in the knowledge base and emitted exactly as written. A citation marked for specific conditions appears only on findings with those codes.
