Weird usage of search form - attempted spam hack? Can it work?

[Brenda]

Hi to all;

For the past couple of weeks, when I view the showlog.php at brpedersen.com/genealogy/showlog.php, I get items accessing the search form as shown below. Various spam names appear (Prada shoes, Viagra, etc). I want to be sure that some ^&*% isn't managing to spam from my website. Please put my mind at ease and confirm that they can't! Don't know if the search form is being filled out by a person or bot, but the terms do change from that shown here.

Brenda,

It looks like a new guerilla marketing tactic, albeit labor intensive. People do read their own web access logs closely and, as we've proven here, more closely than our junk mail. I vote for not worrying.
