weird search results being recorded

i noticed some weird search results being recorded like this:

the search function should only be recording a result if it finds a result, so this should not be added unless it can actually find this text, which i doubt it. 

Some annoying robot is adding this i think. 

page: search.page.php

PHP

if($search_value > "") {
    $page_content .= $class->list_all(
        $start = $start_val,
        $max = $page_step,
        "search", 
        $template_file_name,
        $search_term = $search_value
    );
}

i think the issue is with the search link text being added from the url. it does not validate if the text exists on the page before adding it, so need a check on there before adding it. 

e.g: https://kruxor.com/view/code/DPkzR/weird-search-results-being-recorded/search_text:::weird%20search%20results%20being%20recorded 

I have only allowed the characters on searches, so this should fix the random text issues now.

PHP

$search_text = preg_replace("/[^A-Za-z0-9 ]/", '', $search_text);

see if this solves the problem

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, or a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

Random CSS Property

scroll-margin-inline-start

The scroll-margin-inline-start property defines the margin of the scroll snap area at the start of the inline dimension that is used for snapping this box to the snapport. The scroll snap area is determined by taking the transformed border box, finding its rectangular bounding box (axis-aligned in the scroll container's coordinate space), then adding the specified outsets.
