Description

Looking through my logs i have noticed several attempts at SPAM in the form of www.somejunkdomain.com/xbox and the like. Sometimes its just a word or combination of words that have absolutly nothing to do with the website

I am guessing if someone does a search of the website it is only a small chance that their search will result in the above being offered, but it sould happen.

I am thinking that some form of filtering could be added to Keyword Autocomplete so that certain user defined patterns are not offered in the list of matches

Maybe there exists anothe rnodule that would already provide this ?

Version:5.x-1.0» 6.x-1.0-beta1

I Have changed the version to the latest as that is what I am currently using

Thinking more on this, there are two situations

1 A search returns results

2 A search does not return results

In 1 , as a search returns results the search criteria should be added to the table

In 2, as no results are returned, we could take the search criteria 3 ways (their may be more),

a. someone spamming, where the search criteria is totally irrelevant to the site in question, so probably should not be included in the table,

b. someone made a typo so probably not be included in the table.

c.someone has entered a search criteria that is valid, though the site has no content to reflect it and theirfore returns no results, which may lead to changes on the site, again though should this be included in the table?

This brings up the question of should their be a means to seperate the two result sets, either in the same table or in two seperate tables, with those of type 2 not being returned when a user searches
