Hi,
Once in my admin menu i saw something like an option for treating search engine spiders/robots as anonymous users or webmasters or registered users. Now the problem is that i don't seem to be able to find it anymore, but i am sure i saw it somewhere, can anyone tell me where exactly is it? That will be very helpful

Hi tray5753,

In your admin section goto system admin -> Preferences -> Meta tags & Footer, and the robots config should be a bout the third item down.

The item there is :
"
Meta Robots
The Robots Tag declares to search engines what content to index and spider "

But what i want is that the configuration regarding treating robots as registered users or anonymous users, i can't seem to be able to find that

There is no such a thing treating spider as a registered user. It is always being treated as anonymous and granted such a previledge. You definitely not want the spider to be webmaster.

Re: Search Spiders

I don't think there is a setting for treating spiders as anything but anonymous. You really really really don't want them as anything else. Search results would be useless since a user clicking a link would come in as anonymous anyway. But security is the biggest reason.

You do however set-up your Meta tags etc. to best reflect your site. Personally I set-up a robots.txt file so that spiders (good spiders) don't index portions of my site that would not be beneficial or would go stale quickly.
