Description
If bots are attacking your site by appending /search/a-random-string-or-word, then those pages may be getting indexed by search engines, or populating search logs.
This plugin disables that permalink structure.
Search forms will still work, and the search results page will use the less index-friendly ?s=search-term format.
Installation
- Upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/disable-search-slugdirectory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly. - Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
There are no settings pages. It just works.
Frequently Asked Questions
