    domU-12-31-34-00-02-70.usma2.compute.amazonaws.com
    .....etc

    I found them crawling my site, and in one time many of them online in my site?
    when I check the domain, I found amazon web service but I am not using any amazon service.
    what are they? is it a bad bot?

    thanks

    Hey. Definitely recommend you block them. Something very shady about Open I Search.

    Now OpenISearch has an FAQ page up. They talk about robots.txt rules, but they don't obey ANY of the robots.txt files on ANY of my sites!

    Wow, still no links work though. They don't know how to make a functional web site, but they can hammer my sites 800 times an hour. Nice.

    I like their motto: "Experience The Future of Web Searching" - It should be: "Experience The Future of Web Spamming".
