I’m unclear if this is a feature or a bug.
On a recently upgraded site, topics and posts properly show the expected timestamps in the browser view, but a user was annoyed that Google search queries were showing old topics/posts with the import date (maybe a rebake date) rather than the created at date as seen in the browser.
This site is running on Stable.
I don’t know whether this is a bug or whether it’s done on purpose so that crawlers know that this data is new to them.
On a related note, if someone could tell me where the template is for the crawler view (so I can look at history), I’d appreciate it.

> The crawler view currently always shows the updated\_at field of posts when it was updated since the post was created. That feels wrong to me and it hurts the most when you have imported posts. I think we should change it so that we always render the created\_at field of posts. That’s more in line with how the rest of Discourse presents post dates. I’ve created a PR:
