Will these be indexed by search engines?


Side note: I typed this into Google: "site:doc.qt.digia.com QObject"...

...and the first result returned is entitled "QObject Class | QtCore
5.2 | Documentation | Qt Project", but the Google link is
http://doc.qt.digia.com/4.7/qobject.html

You'll likely find the Google Webmaster Tools useful for cleaning up
Google's cache: https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

I created a Chrome extension to easily filter my search results:
http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/36199

For earlier versions, the only filtering I needed was something like
"site:qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/"

For Qt 5.2, I needed to do this: "site:qt-project.org/doc/qt-5/
-site:qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.1/ -site:qt-project.org/doc/qt-5.0/"

What is the current filtering scheme built into the website?
