Does this robots.txt blocking matter? |

I have a google blog on one of my sites. I recently converted from FTP publishing to google publishing. The site is located at blog.example.com.
If I look in my crawl errors I see
URL Detail Detected
http://blog.example.com/search/label/widgets URL restricted by robots.txt Jun 8, 2010
http://blog.example.com/search/label/widgests2 URL restricted by robots.txt May 30, 2010
My robots.txt for the blog subdomain shows:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Sitemap: http://blog.example.com/feeds/posts/default?orderby=updated
Does this matter? I'm not sure exactly what it is blocking.. ie just the labels page or a search that results in labels.
Do I need to do anything with this or should I just let things lie peacefully
thanks

[edit reason] switch to example.com - it can never be owned [/edit]

Change your robots.txt file.
This line:
Disallow: /search
needs to be edited to look like this:
Disallow:
Your robots.txt file is specifically preventing bots from crawling the /search folder level of your site and *everything* below it.
