Does anybody know how to stop this and why they do it?
I check my site search logs (nextopia is who we use for search) and it is flooded by thousands of searches for random products by a few different ip addressses. I block the ip addresses but new ones just show up the next day. How can i stop it, and what do they do it for

here are some example searches

dgn3500-100nas
