That's Bloggers support for Ms. Googlebot. It auto-submits a feed containing your recent updates as XML sitemap to search engines. And no, you can't change a robots.txt at blogspot.com, because that file does not exist, it's just a script's output. IIRC we nagged Google since ages WRT to sitemaps and blogger, and that's a really neat response. Sebastian
The disallow statement stops search queries on your site from being included in the index because without it your site could be an infinitely large site. For example if I search for a monkey on your site (using the search bar in the top left) the resulting URL is http://anylee-anylee.blogspot.com/search?q=monkey The robots.txt just stops that from being crawled.

Forgot to add: Disallow: /search tells crawlers not to fetch result pages from your blog's internal search facility. It makes no sense to index those. Sebastian
