Spam search operations

Hi,

First of all, thank you very much for taking over this plugin. I finished a big website with it, just before Algolia announced they would drop it. So much appreciated.

I do have an issue though, of which I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask. But I’ll just give it a shot.

Ever since I started using Algolia, a LOT of bogus search queries, all of which (mostly Chinese) URL’s show up in my search report. This doesn’t really affect users, and I obviously don’t click any of those links, but it does generate a lot of unnecessary queries.

So I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, and maybe has a suggestion how to address this.

This might be more of a general Algolia implementation issue, but if there are more people experiencing this, maybe an option to block certain (parts of) queries would be very neat.

Thanks again!
