While Gatekeeper could be best effective, I don't think it is any less annoying or user-friendly at all. People should not be doing maths and brain exercises just to post something... While we can be all of combating spam, annoyed users either by Gatekeeper method is far worse than annoyed admins.
So I'm in favor of Captcha if a spam protection is a must than Gatekeeper. I find Gatekeeper annoying so are my users of every "capactiy" from low to high IQ to understand what they are looking or why questions asked.
As for visually impaired, there are very good public spam solutions with listening solutions.<

So I'm getting DOS attacks on my search page...
1. I can disable the search page to all non-members.
2. I can add some type of human verification which only 10% of the entire group I've blocked above may not be able to negotiate.
Which do I pick?
3. Or you can do a session check and not let non-cookie clients.
4. With above solution, you can also limit time-intervals of next search.<

I'll buy that.<

I would implement a counter and limit the number of searches in a certain period of time, that will prevent DOS attacks, if they go over your limit redirect them to google

It can be anything simple as long as its unique e.g.
Type the word Hello in this box -> Hello
What colour in an Orange? Orange
How do you spell dog? Dog
What is 2 + 2 ? 4
phoenixtaz13, you should include search.asp in your robots.txt
Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: search.asp
Disallow: register.asp
Disallow: members.asp
Disallow: search.asp
Disallow: active.asp
Disallow: pop_profile.asp
Disallow: login.asp
Disallow: post_info.asp
Disallow: pop_profile.asp
Disallow: pop_mail.asp
And there's no reason to believe its a DOS attack. It could be a legit web crawler. Did you get the i.p. address from active_users.asp?<
