--- Comment #3 from Richard Guk <[email protected]> ---
Assuming that the output relates to robots.txt status (not to internal search),
I suggest changing the text to:

"External search: Allowed/Disallowed"

Reasons:

- if the status is based on robots.txt and is not always identical to the
internal search indexing, then "External" would be more accurate;

- "status" usually refers to the outcome of a process, which is misleading here
because the info is about a setting;

- "Disallowed:" is the standard wording used in robots.txt, so using "Allowed"
and "Disallowed" is more consistent and makes the technical meaning more
obvious.

Though "Discouraged" would be slightly more accurate for non-technical users,
the word is still ambiguous and fails to reflect the robots.txt wording. If you
think that "Allowed/Disallowed" are still too confusing, then "External
search:" could be linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/robots.txt or to the
article at [[Robots exclusion standard]].
