Frequently Asked Questions
What Traffic Patterns Should I Expect From A360-Search?
A360-Search's traffic pattern depends on the intelligence being collected. It may revisit specific pages on a schedule, crawl broader sections of your site, or appear only when information is requested. Its request scope and frequency reflect the underlying objective.
Does A360-Search Follow Robots.txt Rules?
A360-Search is expected to follow robots.txt rules, so a disallow rule is the appropriate first step if you want to block it. Automatic Robots.txt can add and maintain that rule, while Agent Analytics lets you verify whether A360-Search respects it.
Is A360-Search Used for AI Model Training?
Possibly, but its category does not establish that purpose. A360-Search's operator may use or provide the collected content for AI training or for unrelated automated tasks.
Does Blocking A360-Search Affect AI Search or Citations?
Not directly. A360-Search's expected purpose is not to supply an AI search index or retrieve pages for AI-generated answers.
Does A360-Search Access Private Content?
No special access. A360-Search can read publicly available pages but cannot bypass authentication. Assume anything you publish openly may be collected.
How Can I Verify a Request From A360-Search?
Agent Analytics tracks A360-Search visits in real time. You can also check your server logs for requests whose user-agent string contains "A360-Search". Traffic may range from repeated requests to the same pages to broader crawls or one-off fetches. Because A360-Search does not publish a verification method, any client can claim its identity and a log match is only a clue.
