Hi @Russ W,

I appreciate your patience, and I want to thank you for bringing up your question. In addition to what our expert Steve has suggested, I also checked with the team about your question, and they confirmed that this new search and select text functionality is not searchable by Google or other search engines.

Hope it answers your question.

Thanks,

Harshika

It doesn't say one way or the other in the public documentation. I think it's intended for manual search and copy. This is from the Help file:

Allow viewers to Search and Copy text in the published document: Viewers can search and copy text from the published document. This option is enabled by default with InDesign 18.4 and later. You can search for text within your published documents on any device. However, you can only copy text from published documents on desktops and laptops.
