Thank you for your reply.
The problem is, it’s not a URL or a “singular” word. These are conventional words but which normally cannot really appear on my site. (but it is still possible that they appear there :))
It is as if on a car sales site, we found the words “wood”. Normally, the word “wood” should not be found, except in some special case, for example, a wooden car dashboard. So I don’t know if I should block these words …
But I guess there is no other solution?
(sorry for the late response :))”
I agree, you probably shouldn’t block those keywords. Just keyword-blocking doesn’t really help there.
I would recommend looking at the server access logs to see if there’s a specific bot that’s doing these searches, and if that’s the case, blocking that bot. On one of my sites, I had a big problem with the Bing crawler doing tons and tons of weird searches. I blocked the Bing crawler from the search results: problem solved.
If it’s common language search terms from a variety of sources, then it’s really hard to block.
