Kimi-SearchBot

Fully verifiable

Moonshot AI's search crawler for Kimi, which analyses pages for relevance and builds the index behind Kimi's search features. Blocking it removes a site from Kimi search results. Listed separately from KimiBot because Moonshot documents it as an independently configurable crawler with its own robots.txt token and its own published address list.
