What does deindex mean?

A resource that has been deindexed has been temporarily or permanently removed from search engine results.

If a URL or site has been deindexed it means the resource is no longer in the search engine index.

This could have been due to an intentional removal of the resource by the site owner, or due to a search engine algorithm or other action.
