Yes, each offending entry in the log has a string that is 32 KB long. I have decided to remove the "deny from" lines and let the entries pile up in access_log, with log rotation implemented. The problem, as Greg pointed out, is that the originators of those searches are probably using a dynamic IP address, which means they will be using a different one each time, and I will end up blocking an innocent client if I just keep adding addresses to my deny list.
