About Microsoft
Microsoft operates Bingbot as the primary web crawler for the Bing search engine. Bingbot allows websites to appear in Bing search results and powers search experiences across the Microsoft ecosystem, including Windows, Edge browser, and Cortana. Microsoft's crawling infrastructure also supports Yahoo Search, as Yahoo's search results are powered by Bing. Blocking Bingbot will remove your site from Bing search results and affect visibility across Microsoft's search-powered services.
