No, it's an automated search by programs from the search engines, to catalog the contents of the pages, and check out incoming and outgoing links, etc. etc.. Later, when someone searches for a term, then a samba page might show up for that term.

| Yeah, it's kind of neat. All the search engines try their best to keep exactly what they do and look for secret from each other, to try to get an edge over one another, and there's a whole industry related to trying to figure out exactly what they do, and manipulate the process, in order to place a site as high as possible in the search results. |

I locked the rants thread because the question had already been asked and answered here. Hence the helpful link to this thread as explanation. |
