Search intent
Users want to know which bot names to put in robots.txt and what each one does.
Practical checklist
- Crawler names change, so each token should link back to a vendor or maintained list.
- Some controls are robots.txt tokens rather than strings you will see in logs.
- Use company-specific pages when you need more detailed tradeoffs.
