seo - Any way to both NoIndex and Prevent Crawling? -

i created new website , not want crawled search engines not appear in search results.

i created robots.txt

user-agent: * disallow: / 

i have html page. wanted use

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

but google page says should used when page not blocked robots.txt robots.txt not see noindex tag @ all.

is there way can use both noindex robots.txt?

there 2 solutions, neither of elegant.

you correct if disallow: / urls might still appear in search results, without meta description , google generated title.

assuming doing temporarily, the recommended approach basic http auth in front of site. isn't great since users have put in basic username , password, prevent site getting crawled , indexed.

if can't or don't want put basic auth in front of site, alternative still disallow: / in robots.txt file, , use google search console regularly purge google index requesting site removed index.

this inelegant in multiple ways.

1. you'll have monitor search results see if urls indexed
2. you'll have manually request removal in google search console
3. google didn't intend removal feature used in fashion, , knows if they'll start ignoring requests on time. i'd imagine continue work though they'd prefer didn't use way.
