    I dont want to index some of dynamic pages and i blocked them through robots.txt file
    i.e.
    User-agent: *
    Disallow:
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /search?sq*/

    This is a better solution for completely blocking the index of a dynamic pages is to use a robots noindex on a per page bases.
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">the page is not indexed, but links may be followed
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> the page is not indexed & the links are not followed

    Allow indexing of everything
    User-agent: *
    Allow: /

    Disallow indexing of everything
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
