Yes all the Search Engine Bots have usernames now and that one never seems to go away. You will also see ask jeeves, yahoo and msn bots from time to time.

There's a robots.txt file you can put in your web server instances root domain. We've done that at work. Someone managed to find a test site and even though it said TEST and QA all over they still put in something they meant to put in our production site. So now we exclude everything and the major search engines all seem to be behaving.
