Introduction 

What does it do? 

KeSearch HoneyPot provides simple protection against spammers and bots in ke_search search queries.

A honeypot field is an invisible form field that is hidden from real users but visible to spam bots. If this field is filled out, the search request is rejected with a 403 Forbidden response.

Features 

• Simple honeypot field for ke_search forms via Fluid Partial
• Automatic spam bot detection via PSR-15 Middleware
• 403 Forbidden response for spam attempts
• Works out of the box - just install and add the partial to your template
• Compatible with TYPO3 11 LTS, 12 LTS, 13 LTS and 14

Screenshots 

The extension works silently in the background. There are no visible changes for legitimate users. Spam bots filling out the hidden honeypot field will receive a 403 Forbidden response.
