Builds the index Claude uses to ground search answers. Blocking it removes your site from the pool Claude can cite when answering with search - the Anthropic counterpart of OAI-SearchBot.

Operator documentation: https://support.claude.com/en/articles/8896518
A user agent is a claim, not a proof: any client can send any name. Where an operator publishes IP ranges, a reverse lookup is the only way to tell a real visit from an impersonation.
