If you check on that page you will see that at certain spots there are yahoo images linking to yahoo search. Isn't msgplus for msn messenger? Shouldn't yahoo have NOTHING to do with it? Your opinion please

It's just a bot that trails the forums and then with certain words it picks up, if you were to search them in Yahoo! search, then you would get the thread on here.
Someone correct me if i'm wrong.

Because it has a search engine, if you look, you can also see google bots and others :)

You can see any bot that has a search engine ... it isnt new news. They see the no permission page, people's profiles and everything.
They can see any page that is visible to an unregistered person so they cant see T&T and beta testers forums.
And btw ...

AFAIK basically what they do is that they search the page for all the key words and then if they find a link then they jump to it. Eventually they "bookmark" (or what ever the appropriate word is) your site so that if you search for any key word then your site shows up :)
You search for "John Anderton" and you'll probably find my profile for this forum on the 1st page (It was there last time i checked :)) Some people having common names could put  messenger Plus! In front of it but this is only an example. Please do not post "My name appears on page 'x' of 'y' search engine while searching for 'z'" Or anything on those lines :dodgy: :tongue:

Also, the search engines make cached copy of a page so for example there was a thread on these forums that got deleted, you might still be able to view some of it in the search engine's index :P

It's good to have search engines crawling because if someone needs help with messenger plus! and they haven't notice a link to the forums say in the "plus! about window", then they go to google and type "messenger plus help", boom, msghelp.net appears :P

I think that the ability to see when a bot is seaching something is good, so you can filter out the number of bots who are the guests viewing the forums. ;)

Yahoo! isn't just a Messenger. The three biggest search engines on the web are Google, Yahoo, and MSN, and my script recognizes all of them.
