Summary0003373: attribute filtering and canonical link
DescriptionThe canonical tag helps for pages, that have identical or near identical content.

But, if you look at a category with articles and compare it to its filtered subsets, the subsets are completely different to each other, and still quite different from the unfiltered list.

example:
- full category: a1,a2,a3,a4,a5,a6,a7,a8,a9,a10
- filter result 1: a1,a2
- filter result 2: a3
=>
result1 compared to result2 = 0% identical content
full - result1 = 20% identical content
full - result2 = 10% identical content

I think, we cant rely on the canonical tag in filter results. Additionally (or instead) there should be a noindex,follow direction in the header to indicate, that google must not use the filtered list in its index.
