What does PerplexityBot mean?
PerplexityBot means a crawler user-agent associated with discovering and indexing web content for search answers.
Its role concerns access to web information. A crawler request is distinct from a user reading a page or an answer citing it.
Crawler access can support discoverability, but it does not determine whether a page is selected. Site logs alone cannot establish recommendation strength.
