{keywords} vs {keywords_clean}

Sean 1 Mar 2018 14:00 question, complete

EE 2.10.1
Low Search 4.4.0

I have a site where the popular tag is being used. However the popular search is turning up database queries. Obviously someone trying to hack the site.

I checked the docs and am wondering if using {keywords_clean} will not display these results or if there is another way to filter so it doesn't include these sort of queries.



current template code is:

 
 {exp:low_search:popular limit="6"} 
   <li {if count > 4}class="hidden-tablet"{/if}><a class="same-height" href="{path=/explore/results?keywords={keywords}}"><span>{keywords}</span></a></li> 
 {/exp:low_search:popular}

   {keywords_clean} will return the keywords without diacritics, punctuation etc. It will not filter out "unwanted" words. There is currently no built-in way to not display search queries like that.

   That's kind of what I expected. Thanks for the super quick response Low.
