Finally, you can easily improve site performance by blocking certain searches or suspicious IP addresses that perform those unallowed queries.

The plugin has four search-improving tools:
- Redirect – Whenever a user searches for a certain word in the search bar, he/she will be redirected to an internal URL of your choice.Learn more: Search Improvement Tools – Redirect From Search
