Bob Eisenman Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Someone I worked with years ago talked about our work oriented website having been visited several times (detection software for traffic) by 'spiders' (IE. web crawler): FYI https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_crawler "A Web crawler, sometimes called a spider, is an Internet bot that systematically browses the World Wide Web, typically for the purpose of Web indexing (web spidering)."

Yes of course. But using Google's "site:<...>" syntax allows you to limit the search to a specific site, which may come in handy sometimes.

Bob Eisenman Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Once a valid search path strategy is found for the (forum) page of interest, the search engine user can then optimize a site specific search in ways that may be more efficient than an internal search path.
