    What theme are you using? Also - what exactly did you search for in G?

    That's weird. Not sure why that would happen.

    But... G can crawl any file. It's up to us to direct the crawling behavior with a well structured site, htaccess file, etc.

    So, I wish I were more help... if it were me, I'd start with looking into the SEO settings in your theme, or if you don't have one, get a good SEO plugin and set it up properly. Then add the site to G Webmaster tools and see if there are any weird crawl errors or alerts.

    You can use robots.txt to disallow googlebot from indexing your website directories.
