Have you noticed that when you search for a website in google or duckduckgo you get a little bit of the content on it? It also works for websites where you normally would have to have an account.My question is how do the search engine crawlers actually do it and can I create my own crawler that pretends to be a search engine to overcome the login requirement? Is it even legal to do so? I feel like if it's indeed legal and possible some underground browser should already have it implemented, no?

They use bots that the websites specifically allow in to create traffic. You will not be able replicate these reliably.
>>109677936back in the day you could spoof your user agent as googlebot and it worked.however that doesn't work anymore because most sites implement google recommendations: https://developers.google.com/crawling/docs/crawlers-fetchers/verify-google-requests
>>109677936As >>109677976 says they check the originating IP range, and no, Google Cloud will not help either
>>109677936I don't think crawlers do such things often. You can put webpage description in metadata (can even write it directly into HTML header) and that what search engines will use.I know for social media it's more complex, but usually the service is set-up to account for search engines.
