Is it possible somehow - that we can differentiate between a guest who is browsing through your site or a search engine bot is crawling?

Can we show them separately in [ Online now ] - something:
Online now: 6 (members: 2, guests: 3, google bot: 1)

May be my questions sounds silly - but you know curiosity, hunger to learn more and more will help everyone - especially when you have a group of highly talented and intelligent people around you.

I did start looking into this and though I got it to work slightly it created a massive overhead (A lot of regex against the useragents) I plan to pick this up again soon!

Thats good news - someone start working on it - hopefully someday (in near future) will get it work.
Thanks a bundle Cezz - I highly appreciate your time and efforts.

No doubt Floris - I learn a great deal out of the replies to my naive, silly question.
And I always convey my highest regards and appreciation for all the time and efforts you guys/gals putting into. You guys/gals are the biggest force behind my following of xenforo to use as my first ever forum/board website.
Once again thanks to all.
