Will posts changed to private fall out of search engine results?
-
If I change a post from public to private, will it eventually fall out of a Google’s search results? That is my desired outcome. If not, would a reindexing request to Google achieve this goal, or would the page (and its cached version) remain out there, since the URL technically would remain the same? I realize there is no way to completely scrub the internet of a post that’s already been public.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It will, eventually, but you can also use webmaster tools to remove the page from Google search results. https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/1663419?hl=en
Note that you’ll first need to verify your site ownership with Google’s webmaster tools if you haven’t already: http://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/
