    Use the search feature. I asked a similar question a while ago.
    There were answers but I had NFI what they meant .

    Something to do with search engine results I believe.

    if you have the yahoo toolbar installed, the slurp spiders will follow where you go.

    obviously a lot of people have the toolbar installed, or the spiders own land rovers as well :P

    Search engines like Google, Yahoo, MSN etc have software that tries to visit every page they can find on the web, read it, and store it in their databases. This is what's called 'spidering' the web.

    Slurp is the name of Yahoo's software that does this. Google's is called Googlebot. I don't know what MSN's is called (who cares anyway?).

    The Yahoo toolbar thingummy is actually spyware sort of. It sends the pages you visit back to Yahoo (it's supposed to be anonymous) so they can (i) discover new sites they don't already know about, and (ii) figure out what's popular and what's not.

    Google does exactly the same thing, but they don't need a toolbar to do it.
