This is my robots.txt for my site. I have set this for Google, Yahoo and bing to crawl. But my site gets listed in Lycos, duckduckgo and many other search engines.

    1. You have not mentioned when you have uploaded robots.txt file on the server.

    2. You should write each text on new lines.

    Disallow: Disallow: /*? is wrong way.

    Disallow:
    Disallow: /*? is right way.

    That might be the reason, why Search Engines can't block your specified contents. Update your robots.txt file as soon as possible.
