Re: Re: How to stop search spam?
An exellent idea Gary, thanks. I'll investigate further.
For me, this is a pretty high priority — the search function is very resource intensive.

> Rick, maybe the Shoutbox Words list is a model. (Words entered there by admin will stop any shoutbox post that contains them.) But Shoutbox Words has its own db table for storage. Probably the search submit code could make the same check that shoutbox submit uses, if your word lists are the same. Otherwise you'd have to make a new table. I'm not sure what's involved in adapting the shoutbox submit/checking code to the search box.
