I agree.
But Kartris is logging errors as below.
Can you explain what could be causing them?
And the hosting provider has asked: How are you handling invalid input (IE deadquery strings etc.)?

I did wonder that maybe we can add the no-bot ajax control to the search page, but this isn't really possible because we allow the search page to accept input from a querystring, so you could embed a search box on a third party site that searches your site, or format links that run a search.
As Mart said, IP blocking willl probably need constant adjustments as they'll skip around from various hijacked machines. So I think the only option would be either to block particular words, or maybe simpler, to format a query that removes all search data for certain words which could be run periodically to clean up these stats. SOmething like:
DELETE FROM tblKartrisSearchStatistics WHERE SS_Keyword='TERM'

I think even if you found the IPs, it won't work to block. This is the work of a bot - the same sort that posts cheesy links in blogs etc... probably what it is trying to do... thinks search form is a blog posting form, hammers it with cheesy spam.
Chances are its firing from all sorts of IPs (probably hacked machines) to avoid any blocking.
I guess would need to add a block list of words that you can build up that won't register in search.

Can you block the IP/IP range in windows firewall?

I am seeing a number of recurring search terms being entered through the search function of our Kartris website. How can I block these terms? Or block the person / bot that is conducting this??
Search terms:
| cheap | 189 | | louis | 129 | | vuitton | 129 | | jerseys | 116 | | replica | 45 | | outlet | 43 | | wholesale | 42 | | sale | 36 | | nfl | 32 | | china | 29 | | shoes | 24 | | michael | 23 | | kors | 23 | | babyliss | 19 | | online | 19 | | handbags | 18 | | louboutin | 17 | | nba | 17 | | bags | 17 | | uggs | 17 |
