I don’t know why they’re doing this and what do they want. Any ideas? Thanks!
Have you seen this @sam? Odd.
This happens in Google Analytics all the time — the hope is that the searches are published somewhere or an admin visits the link.
I wonder if the same user is spamming these? Could we possibly look for a user who is searching for a url hundreds of times and flag their account?

For a lot of communities it’s uncommon for users to search URLs at all, so it probably doesn’t even need to be hundreds.

It sure is a very frustrating abuse factor, maybe we should auto eliminate spammers from the list, same IP or user, a gazzilion searches
I really would like to see the raw data here
Have not seen this before on our sites

I can send you the raw data for sure; which file is it?
Have been seeing this myself lately – anything I can do to send data along or get it looked at? This thread seems to have died down. Thanks!
Where have you seen it exactly? Can you share a screenshot?
Would a “simple” fix be to just block anonymous users from searching for anything that regexes like a domain?
It looks like you could win by simply banning all searches for .cn domains, somehow, but the actual impact is so low here (and what they are doing is so pointlessly ineffective) it’s hard to justify any engineering effort.

Our site is seeing something similar, but slightly different.
We appear to have some kind of bot performing a daily search on our forum for a few keywords.
Is there a way to block specific search terms?
Or, a way to link a search term to an IP address, then in turn to block that IP?
These, for example, are significantly skewing our search term data analysis:
Capybara is part of discobot. That you see that is a good sign that discobot is working and people are making it through the new user tutorial.
The others I do not recognize.
I am not sure what the issue is honestly with having some random keywords on this list. A bit weird, sure, but you are the only one who sees it.
Maybe some ability to prune this list would be interesting. Eg never show me again how many people searched for capybara on my site. But not a high priority methinks.

Sorry to revive this old topic, I am facing a lot of the same spam.
How would one ban all searches for .cn domains?
I’ve already added a filter to the blocked word list, but searches are still coming through
Not sure what the point of these are, but it’s extremely annoying to see so much spam between search logs

Ainda estamos recebendo todo tipo de conteúdo inútil aparecendo em nossos resultados de pesquisa.
Estou imaginando que seja algum tipo de bot (de pesquisa), pois tudo aparece em uma data específica e depois desaparece por um mês.
Tentei adicionar algumas palavras-chave à nossa lista de palavras bloqueadas, mas isso não parece impedir que as pessoas pesquisem por essas palavras-chave, apenas impede que elas postem essas palavras.
Tenho certeza de que já perguntei isso antes, podemos desativar a funcionalidade de pesquisa para usuários que não estão logados?
Ou alguém tem alguma sugestão sobre como resolver ou contornar isso? Nossos logs de pesquisa são inúteis quando estão cheios de bots/lixo

Porque originalmente:
Mas agora nossos logs de pesquisa são absolutamente inúteis.
Olha isso:
Apenas uma pesquisa válida aparece em todo o mês.
É mais do que inútil
Eu genuinamente agradeço qualquer conselho sobre como lidar com isso, ou como impedir que usuários não logados realizem uma pesquisa.
Existe uma configuração oculta do site chamada rate_limit_search_anon_global que pode ser usada para limitar isso.

Obrigado @Falco
Está esperando um valor booleano ou um inteiro?
Os detalhes estão em site_settings.yml, ele espera um valor inteiro:
