Yandexbot
Yandexbot is assigned to the Search category by BotScope. Detection is based on the user-agent string. Current pattern:
Yandex(Bot|Webmaster|SiteLinks|Images|Video)
Search engine crawlers index publicly available content for their results. They typically fetch /robots.txt first and respect crawl-delay and Disallow rules. High crawl frequency usually correlates with good visibility in those search results.
BotScope maps Yandexbot requests onto your session timeline — you spot bursts, can filter them per path, and compare against other bots in the same category.

If you don't want Yandexbot to crawl your site, add the following block to your /robots.txt. This works only for bots that honour robots.txt — malicious crawlers ignore it.
