    Search engines (google etc) send out 'bots' searching for different "texts' to link to for queries, what you actually type in the box. they are allus out there among us.

    Just googled (actually duckduckgo'd, but doesnt sound right!) Much more than above, , , ,

    https://www.cnet.com/how-to/what-is-a-bot/

    from link:
    Bots are everywhere in technology, ranging from malicious bots that come with a virus to search engine spiders that crawl the Internet looking for new Web pages to add.

    Is this what you mean?
