    I saw this in my logs today. I believe it's a site scraper. Is anyone familiar with this bot?

    those kinds of bots go by keywords on a text list. they query the result, visit the first 10 sites that show up & copy around the 1st 300 or so characters. And I think that bot may be one of those. And I'm pretty certain that most search engine companys use windows 98..
