After 90 days, if you do not block the page from crawlers or tell crawlers not to index the page, Google will crawl and list the page again in the Google search results.

If you want to remove stuff from search indexes permanently, not only Google's, then you need to serve verified crawlers a forbidden response code (see how to deindex content).

I'll sphinn this not because this is such earth shaking news -- it was always  only  a temporary removal -- but because it's a change  from  the  previous  180-day  temp  removal.

There was confusion back in 2004 as to whether it was 90-days or 180-days, and even the Google documentation wasn't all that clear on the point.

Things are more clear these days, but I much prefer the use of .htaccess and/or robots metadata or the robots.txt file to herd search engine bots.
