No, it won't.

Your server when seeing a request from one of the spiders responds with

Vary: user-agent
Cache-Control: max-age=72000

Or whatever age you want for the search content..

If you can throw an ETag or Last-Modified in there as well, and have the
server react reasonably on If-None-Match / If-Modified-Since conditional
requests then even better but that's a bonus.

If the request is NOT from one of these spiders you respond with
personalized content and headers looking as:

Vary: user-agent
Cache-Control: private
