    Thanks V. I'm seeing a similar number of problem search requests (although nowhere near as many real search requests:-), so it is probably the same "SEO practitioners" running the same "scraping footprints" against different search engines around the same time.

    I was kind-of hoping that somewhere in this discussion there would be an "And the answer to your problem is...", but I suppose it is a very specific problem which only a search engine would encounter. I think the Cloudflare solution you have is probably the best to block the requests as early as possible. The reverse proxy config[0] I've got seems to be mostly holding out for now though.

    Someone on r/datahoarder has a bulk downloader for reddit which you might be able to use for initially populating a search index, and there is an API which you might be able to use to keep the index up-to-date, so it may be technically possible, assuming you don't hit API rate limits etc. It would be a big piece of work though, and you would be trying to compete in your spare time against a team of full-time paid reddit search engineers, while having the disadvantage of not being able to connect to the reddit database directly. I can't find how big their search team is at the moment, but according to https://www.reddit.com/r/blog/comments/mqcpcg/you\_want\_a\_better\_reddit\_search\_ok\_were\_on\_it/ they are looking to double it this year. So, while I don't want to sound defeatist, I'm not sure it is something I'll be looking to take on personally as a priority at the moment. But thanks for your suggestion. searchmysite.net is of course open source (https://github.com/searchmysite/searchmysite.net) with pluggable custom indexers, so you would be most welcome to give it a go yourself.
