The operator's own words

Amzn-SearchBot does not crawl content for generative AI model training.Amazon documentation, checked 2026-10-31

robots.txt allows it, but is it really getting through?

A firewall or CDN rule can reject Amzn-SearchBot even when robots.txt welcomes it, and nothing in your CMS shows it. Our check sends a live request as Amzn-SearchBot alongside a normal browser and a Googlebot control, so a bot-verification rule isn't mistaken for a block.
