What is a "spider"?
I sometimes glance at who is online, and there is usually a "spider" present - specifically "MSNBot spider" or "Yahoo! slurp spider".
What exactly are these? |

Got it. Thanks.
I typically refer to my mother in law as a "vampire", not a "spider", though. |

Tell me, how can a search spider register? I looked at "Who's Online" just now and a Yahoo Slurp Spider was "Registering".
