    Site is getting slammed with bots leveraging the WordPress site search.

    Any way to block those?

    Example from log file:

    Not possible to manually block bots with the free version of the plugin. Pro version it’s easy to do, but the forum rules here at www.remarpro.com forbid any discussion of pro/premium plugins (it’s for free versions only). I am happy to answer any questions about pro version via the contact form at Plugin Planet. Or if you have any further questions about free, they are welcome here anytime.
