The Bot Project is all about the webmaster community working together to build a picture of what search engine bots are doing, when they're doing it and where they're from.

MSNBot

Agent name:
msnbot/1.1 ( http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)
Attributed to:
Microsoft

msnbot is a web-crawling robot (type of internet bot), deployed by Microsoft to supply MSN Search. It collects documents from the web to build a searchable index for the MSN Search engine, which went into beta in 2004, and had full public release in 2005. It performs the same function as Google's Googlebot, and Yahoo!'s slurp.

A typical user agent string for msnbot is "msnbot/1.0 (+http://search.msn.com/msnbot.htm)". This appears in the web server logs to tell the webmaster who is requesting a file. Each webmaster is able to use the included agent identifier, "msnbot", to deny or allow access to their site (by default access is allowed). If they don't want to grant access they can use the Robots Exclusion Standard to block it (relying on the assumed good behaviour of msnbot), or use other server specific means (relying on the web server to do the blocking).
