How to make my bucket not indexed by scoop search engine?

[Andriyansyah Nurrachman]

Hi, I want to make a testing bucket, how do I make them not detected by scoop search engine like ScoopSearch and scoop-directory ?

If I remember correctly, scoop-directory scrapes the GitHub Search API and picks up repositories with 'scoop' in their name or their topics. I assume ScoopSearch also uses something similar. Still I think it will be best if you ask the respective authors in their repositories.

So you can name the repository accordingly and set its topics accordingly to avoid it getting indexed.

Sccop Directory searches for

    "topic:scoop-bucket",
    "scoop-bucket",
    "scoop bucket",
    "scoop",

ScoopSearch searches

    "topic:scoop-bucket",
    "scoop-bucket",
    "scoop bucket"

per here:

            "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=topic:scoop-bucket",
            // Split search queries as GitHub search API returns at most 1000 results
            "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=scoop-bucket+created%3A%3E%3D2020-01-01",
            "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=scoop-bucket+created%3A%3C2020-01-01",
            "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=scoop+bucket+created%3A%3E%3D2020-01-01",
            "https://api.github.com/search/repositories?q=scoop+bucket+created%3A%3C2020-01-01"

Ok thanks for the answer, looks like not mentioning "scoop" in bucket name and description and delete all readme file is working.
