    vorapolpanya,

    As far as I know, Google has only two kind of bots... Googlebot and Mediapartners-Google (if you place Google Adsense on your site).

    So I don't think "my_mini_google" has a relationship with Google itself.

    I dont think it is affiliated with Google in any way.
    why would Google name their new bot "my mini google", sounds more like an individual who is running his/her own SE

    I've seen it on a couple of my web logs, not a big deal, and I never can track down where the originating site is..
