How to re-enable being found by Google
Found the solution myself: Settings -> Reading -> Discourage search engines from indexing this site (must be blank)(bottom of page)

Group search results by category
Add in the search parameter to your query: $search_filters = array( ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, // Doorzoekt alle post types ‘s’ => $keyword // show only posts that meet the current search query ); And above that you should just be able to grab the keyword right from your querystring like so: $keyword = $_GET[‘s’]; There’s … Read more
Extending a custom framework built into WordPress to automatically turn the ‘Search Engine Visibility’ setting ON / OFF, dependant on environment
Those “definable settings” are constants. WordPress defines its default constants in this file. If a constant definition is wrapped in a defined() check, like this: if ( ! defined( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’ ) ) { define( ‘WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY’, true ); } Then it means you can define it first in the wp-config.php file (or, apparently, this framework’s config … Read more
Permalinks set to /%postname%/ but still have links being indexed in the form ?p=x
There are two places bots would look: your sitemap (if you submitted one to google), and your robots.txt. WordPress itself doesn’t put anything in robots.txt (unless you set your site to private, then it tells the bots not to index anything), nor does it create xml sitemaps that google would use.

Redirecting to new URL structure and 301

Filter post_type thumbnail in Search result
If you look at your code, you see that parameters for a WP_Query are defined in $defaults. There is also ‘post_type’ => ‘any’ defined which could be changed to ‘post_type’ => ‘post’ to query only for posts, not pages etc. As you see later on, the search function redefines the post_type to $context based. After … Read more
Completely remove custom post type permalinks (“One Page” website)
I think you should be able to set publicly_queryable to false, which should prevent those ugly permalinks from being generated / working.
Replace/Mute/Stop Search Query
I had a quick grep for SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS and found a few instances. I’m not sure which one is being called in your case, but here’s an interesting one from wp-includes/class-wp-query.php line 2904 onwards: $found_rows=””; if ( ! $q[‘no_found_rows’] && ! empty( $limits ) ) { $found_rows=”SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS”; } $old_request = “SELECT $found_rows $distinct $fields FROM {$wpdb->posts} … Read more
