Purpose
The crawler behind Naver Search, South Korea's dominant search engine and shopping platform. Naver also runs Naver Shopping, Smart Store, Naver Map — and Yeti crawls all of these surfaces.
Quirks
- The robots.txt token is
Yeti, notNaver(the company name).
Many robots.txt files miss this and accidentally exclude Naver visibility.
- Naver's JS rendering capability is limited. Sites targeting the
Korean market should SSR aggressively for Yeti.
