Also - how are you going to block bots without being anti-user also without some sort of tracking?

You could easily get 100 not requests for every 1 user request.

Our search server receives the request from the web server and returns the results. The web server, which could store the user IP, does not know the search query, since the POST method is used for transmission. The search server that processes the request does not know the user IP, only the web server.

The logs will be deleted after the visitor numbers have been determined. Your search query remains anonymous at https://tuxdex.com.

Easy: just don't block bots.

Problem solved.
