How is Google doing it?

Hello

I've just installed isearch and I have noticed that Google is using my site's search block while crawling the site (using keywords that it has found in the site's body).

The thing is, I have the search block turned off for everyone except Admin, so I just can't figure out how the Google spider is uing the search feature when it is not accessible to users (you may wonder why I'm using isearch if users can't search the site - there is a reason, honestly!).

Can anyone figure how Google is doing this?

Thanks!

That is probably because you have invited googlebot into your site several times.. In protector, in preferences and possible through a robots.txt file...

Hi Rune, thanks a lot

So I guess its nothing to be worried about right?

But it still confuses me, its shows that Google is visiting the site everyday (and doing a few searches) - but I thought that Google would only visit a site once every 3 months or so. Plus, even though i have invited Google in, how is it seeing blocks that should be only viewable by people logged in as Admin?

Thanks again
