FortiWeb bot mitigation separates malicious bots from useful bots such as legitimate search engine crawlers. The FortiGuard Known Search Engines category is designed for this exact use case: allowing recognized search engines to crawl and index protected websites without being treated as hostile automation. Adding a source IP to a general trusted IP list may allow the crawler, but it is broader than necessary because it can bypass more protections than intended. An inline profile exception is more manual and less clean. User-agent exceptions are weak because user-agent strings are easy to spoof. The best FortiWeb-native approach is to use the known search engine handling within bot mitigation so legitimate indexing remains available while malicious bots remain controlled.
