Hello Mahmoud, I have experienced similar in the past. at the time there was really nothing you could do in terms of stopping it as it is part of the search per se and the general public need to access that, I saw it a bit like graffiti as an analogy and as soon as the sprayed the walls I took it down.

they soon realised that I was more stubborn than they were. I think most people like this test the water in that they throw some crap up and if it stays they come back like flies at a picnic and bring their mates, but if you take them out, they loose interest and move on.

So as step one for now just try and clean the mess up as fast as possible and you should find they move on and bother other people ? what the purpose of it all is or was not sure. If it continues then maybe check back and look at plan B

I have tried the same request on advanced search and you can see my lines too. See my screenshots: https://prnt.sc/niji68 https://prnt.sc/nijezd
Let us know what do you want to do with these requests?

For the code, it is simple symbols as all other letters.

Banned words - in your tags options, (admin basic settings tag cloud) you have the option of banned words, can you add some of those symbols to that to make it hard enough to mess these guys up and deter them?
