Blocking the searchme.com bot

Nice idea for a search engine, however, their bot is a disrespectful bastard, doesn’t obey robots.txt, plus as it’s a visual search engine, processes Javascript tracking which throws your stats off.

Block it using iptables thus

iptables -I INPUT -m iprange --src-range 165.193.254.1-165.193.254.254 -j DROP
iptables -I INPUT -m iprange --src-range 208.111.154.1-208.111.154.254 -j DROP
