Re: Claudebot attack

You can try robots.txt to stop any AI bots, whether or not they respect it is a different thing. You could also ask your host as they may have something in place for this kind of bot.

Re: Search Facility

Search for Sphinx, that’s what’s used here. Sphinx is selectable in ACP> General> Server configuration> Search settings> Sphinx Fulltext. But, it isn’t that straightforward, it requires some configuration from your end. For more information go to Sphinx . Is your hosting a shared account?

As far as I’m aware sort order is controlled by the server, your host *may* be able to taylor that to your needs. Did you try right clicking on the folder and selecting what you want in 'sort by'?

Go to advanced search
