    In this case it simply means that the SE's are instructed to not index and subsequently cache the category sections. This is done to eliminate on site duplicate content issues.

    search engine visit that link but not index that links. so if you don't need to index some link then you can use no index but as per my opinion don't use no index. you can use robots.txt for those link which you don't want to index. this is not only one way to not index url but there are so many ways for no index. because every man use different way or technique for no index.
