I think spam is an everyday occurrence of keyword based searches ... there is no way of fully stopping it, and most attempts are like a bandaid to a damn that sprung a leak. Now Autobanning based on what rule, under what criteria is someone autobanned? I could see negative results if the rules are vague, leading to a bunch of valid results being banned.
The ultimate solution is a DHT based search. Only hashes will result in a hit of one file you are specifically looking for, the keyword search is when you want a wider scope of searching.
Also maybe the Hub needs to determine that this person is constantly providing a search hit so search requests should not be routed to him because it is a high probability of being a fake.
