We should compare the list of user-agents we match vs isbot to see if we are missing any.

I went through the list of RegExps that isbot provides and removed everyone where we overlapped. It is worth noting that isbot used case-insensitive RegExps and we use case-sensitive here.

I've grouped them below.

Generic patterns:
I think we'll discard all of these because they are so generic that we wouldn't be able to identify a specific bot.

  • [ ]+bot
  • ^[a-z.0-9/ \-_]*bot
  • ^email
  • ^java/
  • ^javascript
  • ^php
  • analyzer
  • archiver
  • bot($|[/\);-]+)
  • checker
  • cloudflare
  • crawler
  • extractor
  • fetcher
  • http[s]?://
  • monitoring
  • optimizer
  • robot
  • scraper
  • spider
  • transcoder
  • uptime

Not user agents:
I don't think these are actually user agents but need to double check.

  • google page speed insight
  • google search

Little to no overlap:
We don't seem to match any of these or they overlap with a different pattern.
