YandexSearchShop is a Yandex crawler used to download product catalogs provided in YML (Yandex Market Language) format at the request of users. These catalog files are typically used for shopping and comparison services and are often stored in directories that are otherwise prohibited from search indexing. The bot fetches only the specified YML files rather than crawling entire websites. This activity is not related to general search indexing. Crawl behavior is targeted and request-driven, focusing solely on retrieving product feeds needed to process user-submitted catalog data. It ignores the global robots.txt user agent (*) rule. RobotSense.io verifies YandexSearchShop using Yandex’s official validation methods, ensuring only genuine YandexSearchShop traffic is identified.

This bot does not honor Crawl-Delay rule.
