Google Search can now index CSV files

Google Search has added to its file types indexable by Google help document that it can now index Comma-Separated Values (.csv) files. I confirmed with John Mueller of Google that this is not just a help document update but a new update to Google Search in what it can index. If you have CSV files out on the web, Google can now index those files. That means that Google Search can show CSV files in its search results when relevant to the query. If you don’t want your CSV files in Google Search, make sure you don’t let Google index them.
