Hi, I think you might want to ask on the mailing list how others have dealt
with the problem. If your robots.txt was added correctly and the bots are
ignoring it, you might want to try and block them by IP in the firewall.

There is also the OPACPublic systm preference that will only allow people to
search after being registered (to anser comment#9)
