Description
Good day,
https://core.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/10574/trunk/wp-admin/install.php
Please I think that is necessary to changed the default behavior of the 'Allow my blog to appear in search engines...' checkbox from checked to unchecked.
This has caused a lot of issues before, and someone has corrected/commented about it in this forum below,.. https://paddicity.com/threads/are-you-launching-a-new-self-hosted-wordpress-site-check-this-out.25/

Looking at the linked post, it says that the default value of the option has changed, and users have to correct that and check the box to allow search engine indexing. However, that is not the case on a clean install, the option is still enabled by default, which I think is the way it should be for the majority of use cases.
So I'm a bit confused about what is actually being suggested here. Could you clarify?
The default value of the check box was set to 1 I changed that to 0 so that the checkbox will be unchecked by default.
