I found this on web search: https://mailcow.github.io/mailcow-docs/

Since Startpage is just a wrapper for Google, I'd assume the issue is there too, so I would advice either hiding the archived version from search engines with robots.txt completely or by adding an version alert like some projects do with their documentation: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.9/index.html (on the right column, above the text, below navbar)

Maybe I will look into a complete redirect to https://docs.mailcow.email/
I guess when we change the docs to a private archive it will take a bit until the webscraper will unpublish them
What do you think @DerLinkman
