Google Voice messages getting indexed by Google Search!

Boy Genius Report has reported that Google Search has managed to index some of the Google Voice message hosted on their service.

You can search for the indexed messages using a regular Google Search.

The results provide access to both the audio file along with the text version of the messages.

Google had this to say about this issue:

“Since the initial idea behind posting a voicemail, was precisely to share it with others, we did not restrict crawling of those messages that users post on the web, but we can certainly understand that users would want to make them public on their sites but not necessarily searchable directly outside of their own website. We made a change to prevent those to be crawled so only the site owner can decide to index them.”
