Googlebot
Googlebot is the name used for Google's crawlers that request web resources for its search systems. Technical access enables content discovery but does not guarantee indexing
What it means, how it is used and where it comes up, with its related concepts.
What it is and how it works
Robots.txt communicates crawling rules and does not act as a general instruction to remove content from the index. To apply noindex, the crawler needs to be able to discover that directive. Server responses, links and content availability should be consistent with what the site intends to make accessible.
Also known as
Google crawler, Google spider
