Teams site showing up in public Bing results
Today a team member did a random public search on Bing using some keywords from an ongoing project. The first result was a link to a file on our internal MS Teams site. Is this supposed to happen? Ho...
AdamHarmetz,
This afternoon when I search for random urls of our client sites they appeared in the search results. Also sites used by teams would appear with their url. I don't think that this was down to sharing sites. Or are you saying if any anonymous link was ever shared then the whole tenant would have been crawled by bing?

MicrosoftThanks. There could be more ways in which a internet search crawler might have picked up sites in the past that I do not know about. I will ask around and see.
We do believe that with the work to update robots.txt, upon next crawl/over time these will age out.
What would be helpful to use to ensure we have a good understanding of the issue is if you have any sites created in the past day or two that appear in a search results. We would be looking for a site that still appears there even after the robots.txt change.
