We are also considering a captcha - our other thought was making the search result an image but that was less 
desirable.

Folks,

 

Did any of you encountered Directory Trolling? Any thoughts on how to prevent this? In the Corporate world,  we don’t 
expose directories at all, so it was never a big issue! We are planning to have Captcha, but it might be a usability 
thing.

 

Any help, greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks.
