Hi, I was just wondering if I can block my assets folder having Images subfolder in it from being indexed by some robots? (I don't want to find my images in google results etc.). My folder structure:

-website
---application
---assets
----images
----css
----js
---system

I guess It might be solution to place at the end of the .htaccess file <FilesMatch> rule. As I am not an expert please advise if the structure of my file is correct. Thank you in advance...

Code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#Removes access to the system folder by users.
#Additionally this will allow you to create a System.php controller,

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

#When your application folder isn't in the system folder

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^application.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

#Checks to see if the user is attempting to access a valid file,
#such as an image or css document, if this isn't true it sends the
#request to index.php

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

# If we don't have mod_rewrite installed, all 404's
# can be sent to index.php, and everything works as normal.

ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

<FilesMatch "\.(bmp|gif|jpg|png|tif)$">
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex"
</FilesMatch>
