Restrict access to search.cgi

Is there a way to only allow searches from my domain, maybe a PLUGIN.

Hi,

To be honest, you'd probably be better (in terms of performance) to add something like;

Code:
   if ($ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'} !~ /\Qyourdomain.com/i) { 
       print $IN->header(); 
       print "ERROR: You can't search from $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'}!"; 
       exit; 
   }

..right after;

Code:
    Links::init_user();

..and change;

Code:
    use Links qw/$CFG $IN/;

Cheers
