What is GoogleOther?

GoogleOther is a web crawler developed and operated by Google. Unlike Googlebot, which is primarily responsible for crawling and indexing web pages for Google's search engine, GoogleOther is used for a variety of internal Google services and research projects that require web content but are not directly related to search indexing. Google introduced GoogleOther to separate non-search crawling activities from those of Googlebot, thereby reducing the load on websites and providing greater transparency to webmasters. GoogleOther adheres to robots.txt rules under the 'GoogleOther' user-agent token, allowing site owners to control its access independently from Googlebot. Its activities may include data collection for product improvement, research, and other non-search-related functions within Google.
