What robots meta tag should you use if you want to prevent a page from being indexed in search results while still allowing search bots to crawl and follow the links on that page?

The noindex, follow robots meta tag is correct because it explicitly instructs search engines not to display the page in search results (noindex) but to continue crawling and passing link equity through the links on that page (follow). This is ideal for pages you want to keep out of search results (e.g., thank-you pages, internal utility pages) while still ensuring that linked pages are discoverable and benefit from any associated link value. noindex, nofollow would prevent both indexing and link following. index, nofollow would allow indexing but prevent link following. index, follow is the default behavior and would allow both indexing and link following.
