Hi Christina,
Locally for the Koha instances I support, I've been writing some experimental
user-friendly Koha-based anti-bot code.
Firstly, I rate limit the number of visits to opac-search.pl based on IP
address blocks. That is, if multiple IP addresses from a /24 or /16 CIDR block
perform X
Look at this wiki page
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Correcting_Search_of_Arabic_records
But strange it does not speak about sorting.
With Zebra looks like it depends on sort-string-utf.chr, and there is no
arabic specific verison of this file.
Maybe it is better with Elasticsearch.

First of all: there are many $$ services that do very well the job, and
would make sense for individual entities. For service providers like
us, that could become expensive.
Many hacks
Kia ora!
