1. Check that your three threads are not started in a hidden or protected forum.
If a forum/thread is not visible to guests, they will not be shown in the TopStat list.

2. Did you modifiy the templates for TopStats plugin?

There has to be other way out . Because allowing guests to use search.php is dangerous and a hazard

is there away to block guests form search.php ?
