Exabot-Test/1.0
193.47.80.78
red-gw.exabot.com

Read and respected robots.txt. I don't like bots that don't identify themselves properly even though it's obvious this is from Exalead.

Does anyone know what they're testing?

I saw that in one of our sites too. But although it read robots.txt and only requested the default page - it totally ignored the fact that I have Exabot and Exabot-Images disallowed. It doesn't take much to presume that if Exabot is disallowed then (the new) Exabot-Test is most likely to also be unwelcome.

I'm also totally unimpressed that their website has no info about their bots (that I can find).

I've banned it.
