Now I'm curious. Who's your employer, and why the disclaimer?

Speaking of crawlers, I discovered something interesting. First, I got
lots of (broken) hits from a crawler from litefinder.net:

http://www.litefinder.net/about.html

    What is LiteFinder Network Crawler?

    LiteFinder Network Crawler is a research project started by a group
    of Indian candidates from the cities of Bangalore, Patna and Jaipur.
    The project serves as a testing ground for information search
    technologies and programs, developed by a group of young scientists.
    LiteFinder Network Crawler was started as the means of simplifying
    the search of specific information at the sites that can be found
    with the help of general-purpose search engines. The project was
    developed due to the grants provided by several foreign companies
    specializing in research in the field of information search.

Later, I got similar broken hits from gigamega.net:

    gigamega.net is a research project started by a group of Russian
    candidates from the cities of Saint-Petersburg, Nizhnii Novgorod and
    Novosibirsk. The project serves as a testing ground for information
    search technologies and programs, developed by a group of young
    scientists. gigamega.net was started as the means of simplifying the

So I asked Google about "is a research project started by a group"
"candidates from the cities", and found another:
