Search bot activity display

How is search bot (and/or other bot) activity logged & displayed in TE. Does search bot activity look like human traffic, or does TE separate it off.
This potentially leads to the question, how to identify search bot activity & what to do about it - stats display wise.

This will be handled in the new TE. You'll have a system trade called "spiders" and their activity will be tracked there. In the current version there is a work around. You could add spider IPs to the block list (security / blocked) and then set blocked IPs to be sent to galleries only (options / general).
