Update from code changes: document searchable frontmatter

[mintlify]

Summary

Documents the new searchable page frontmatter field that lets authors exclude a page from in-product docs search and the AI assistant context while keeping it indexable by external search engines.

Changes

• organize/pages.mdx: add a searchable ResponseField next to noindex.
• optimize/search.mdx: add an "Exclude a page from search" section with usage guidance and a code example, plus updated keywords.
• organize/hidden-pages.mdx: add a searchable: false row to the visibility/indexing table and cross-link from the "hidden versus noindex" explainer.
• Mirrored all updates in the fr, es, and zh translations.

Context

A new searchable?: boolean field was added to page frontmatter. Setting searchable: false excludes the page from in-product docs search and the AI assistant context. Sitemap, robots, and external SEO behavior are unchanged. This is the inverse of noindex, which removes a page from both internal and external indexing.

Update history

• Initial: documented the new searchable frontmatter field across en/fr/es/zh (organize/pages.mdx, optimize/search.mdx, organize/hidden-pages.mdx).
• Tightened a long usage-guidance sentence in the new "Exclude a page from search" section across en/fr/es.
• Clarified that searchable: false also excludes the page from the AI assistant context (Inkeep ingestion), based on the runtime implementation in https://github.com/mintlify/server/pull/6226. Updated the description, supporting bullets, the visibility/indexing table row, and the "hidden versus noindex" cross-link across en/fr/es/zh.

Overview
Documents the new searchable page frontmatter option across en, es, fr, and zh.

Authors can set searchable: false to drop a page from in-product search and AI assistant context while keeping it in the sidebar, sitemap, and external SEO—contrasted with noindex, which also blocks external indexing.

Updates add a searchable ResponseField on the pages reference, a new “Exclude a page from search” section on the search guide (example + keywords), and—where those pages already had the matrix—a searchable: false table row plus guidance in the hidden vs. noindex explainer with cross-links.
