Both blocked by server with 403 error page.

Not sure now as was able to bypass 403 with simple mod to ascii and hex. layout gets messed up both in shop and admin and ends up in db.

search  accepted input.  I would say not a big issue but for the fact that I see fake accounts every day. Jack's honey pot has them down to 5 or 6 per attack per day but they still get in. Here is a typical example, filtering them out is nearly imposiable as they use real email address which  clearly don't belong to them.

as did make account

admin takes input and output the rubbish.

as will the db,
