hi,

If I want to indicate in robots.txt that only my mini can allow
certain folder. do I refer it by what is in user-agent. E.g mine says
gsa-crawler or is it something else. Also should i change the value in
the user agent and refer to that in robot.txt.


thanks

Thiru

Hi,

Yes. The Google Mini appliance will respect the robots.txt rules. You
are correct. The default user-agent that comes with the appliance is
"gsa-crawler". You may choose to use this string as is or change to
something else. It is up to you. More information about the robots.txt
file is explained here : http://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html

Cheers,
Thiru
