How public are "public" snippets?

Are public snippets listed somewhere or searchable using a search engine? Or are they all unlisted and only accessible if you know the URL already?

Hi @John Chamberlain , Bitbucket PM here 👋

Public snippets are effectively "unlisted" - they can't be crawled or indexed by search engines. You'll notice they have this in the <head>:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">

Additionally, in a public workspace, there's a page that lists all the public snippets in the workspace:

http://bitbucket.org/<workspace>/workspace/snippets

That page has the same <meta> tag and is therefore also unlisted.
