Only search bots which access the hidden bot-trap file get blocked.

Real visitors get blocked if they access that hidden file also, but they can unblock themselves just by typing "access" into the form.

Since search bots tend to be stupid, I specifically whitelist (allow) the important ones. This means that they can't get themselves blocked, even if they do access the hidden bot-trap file.
