Question
How to check Claude-SearchBot visits
Do not mix tokens. Claude-SearchBot, ClaudeBot, and Claude-User can represent different behaviors in logs.
CLI quick checks
grep -i "Claude-SearchBot" /var/log/nginx/access.log | tail -n 50
grep -i "Claude-SearchBot" /var/log/nginx/access.log | awk '{print $9}' | sort | uniq -c
Practical interpretation
- If only
robots.txtis hit, policy may still be under evaluation. - If key guides return 200, discovery is likely working.
- If hits are absent, check whether wildcard rules or CDN settings block crawl access.
