Index and Non-Index tag should be properly used to ensure there is no Duplicate Content created for the website. Here Index means a database of Search Engine which contains information of all websites.
Yes, if you indexed your site then it will start appearing in Search Engine Result. Without Search Engine Indexing it is not possible to find the site in Search Result.

Suppose you decide to index the categories of your blogging site. Then, in this case, your article can be accessed from more than URL as shown below
- https://loveumarketing.com/online-community-to-promote-your-website/
- https://loveumarketing.com/earn-money-online/online-community-to-promote-your-website/
In above both the cases you will get redirected to a single post. If you indexed the both then it will create a duplicate post for your website.
To avoid this problem, you need to do enough research before starting your blog or website. Once it gets indexed by the google search it would be difficult to remove the same from Search Result.
Similarly, if you indexed the ‘Date of Your Post’ then there is a possibility that it is not shown in the Search Engine ( provided your posting date is too old). The search Engine favor recent post over others.
