Search queries are now analysed more carefully. In fact, it is a bug because it is possible to make a DDoS on a computer by giving its IP in the query. All other clients will send their reply to this IP. Now, any client sending malformed search query is kicked.

it's not a bug it's a feature ;)

...the hub is delivering strange searchrequests
e.g. active-search with localhost-ip 127.0.0.1
or searchrequests without ip-address or hub just the ':port'

as well maybe a hub-var could be helpful to block private-address-space search-requests. It should be only needed for testing enviorments of special purposes...
...should be blocked I think
