If bots are attacking your site by appending \/search\/a-random-string-or-word<\/code>, then those pages may be getting indexed by search engines, or populating search logs.<\/p>\n\n

This plugin disables that permalink structure.<\/p>\n\n

Search forms will still work, and the search results page will use the less index-friendly ?s=search-term<\/code> format.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Upload the plugin files to the \/wp-content\/plugins\/disable-search-slug<\/code> directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.<\/li>\n
  2. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' screen in WordPress<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    There are no settings pages. It just works.<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    Will search forms still work?<\/dt>\n

    Yes.<\/p><\/dd>\n

    Will URLs at `?s=search-term` still work?<\/dt>\n

    Yes<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
