Question

Should I allow Claude-SearchBot?

If AI answer visibility for Claude experiences is your goal, allowing Claude-SearchBot is usually the practical default.

Keep policy roles separate

• Claude-SearchBot: search-oriented discovery.
• ClaudeBot: training-policy crawler bucket.
• Claude-User: user-triggered retrieval behavior.

Set each policy line explicitly, then confirm with logs instead of assuming wildcard rules did the right thing.

Use Claude policy template
