Daumbot

Listed only

Web-document crawler for Kakao's Daum search service in Korea. It collects pages so they can appear in Daum web search results, and Kakao's help centre states that the robot adheres to the robots exclusion standard when collecting documents from all sources, honouring both robots.txt rules written for the Daum token and noindex/none/nosnippet robots meta tags. The same help centre notes a blocked page's title can still appear in results when other pages link to it, because that text comes from the anchor text of the linking page rather than from a fetch of the blocked page.
