disable-search-slug's Introduction

Disable Search Slug

Stops /search/... URLs from working, resulting in a WordPress 404 page not found.

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

disable-search-slug's Issues

Flushed permalinks ignore this plugin.

  1. Activate plugin.
  2. Check /search/test - correctly comes up with 404 page.
  3. Visit Settings -> Permalinks (or flush the rewrite rules another way).
  4. Check /search/test -> no longer a 404 page, but a search results page (with or without results).

The filtering of the rewrite rules in this plugin, is linked to when the plugin is activated - it does not account for all the other times the rewrite rules are flushed. Big fail.
