Issue with AI Bot Searches in Dashboard Search Logs
jordan-violet reported a potential bug where the AI bot is interfering with search data, skewing results with numerous searches immediately after enabling the bot. They plan to submit a support ticket to resolve the issue.
sam responded that the AI bot is not the cause, as the SearchLog is only populated when an IP address is provided, and the plugin does not tunnel an IP address through.
However, jordan-violet countered that the suspicious searches only occurred on the day the bot was enabled and matched the exact topics they asked the bot about.
sam offered to investigate the issue further using the data explorer, and jordan-violet agreed to the investigation.
Another bug (in my opinion) is that this both is severely interfering with our search data. I only made a handful of queries (maybe 4-5) and this is some of what it did to our search data for our users.
I’ll also likely submit a support ticket for this so our search data for our users isn’t skewed by this.
This is not coming from the AI bot. I just reviewed the code and we only populate the SearchLog when an IP address is provided. The plugin is not tunneling and IP address through.
Those searches were only from the day I enabled the bot, and only showed up immediately after I used the bot.
I cannot imagine someone snuck in that many searches on the 10 minutes after I enabled the bot and asked it questions on those exact things.
We can have a look at the exact culprits in data explorer, do you mind if I have a look tomorrow?
Not at all!
