Still being updated? #31

Is this project still alive? Also how reliable is it in detecting search bots?

It wasn't being updated. Now it will.

Bots detecting is as reliable as get_browser() detecting is. Right now there are a lot of new browsers/bots missing, because browscap project got stalled. When it gets back on track this class should start returning good results once again.

Bots don't change as often as user browsers, so the situation is not that bad here, but if you want more reliable detection, try UserAgentInfo for the time being.

I'm closing this issue.
