In order to be able to gather realistic search stats,a method to store these in the Chevereto database would be so useful.
Agree some tools are available such as Google Analytics but this is not the same as looking at what users enter as keyword search and what results are provided.
The MySQL table to include, datetime, userid, IP, [keyword][category][album][user] or [image ID] selected, count of images result.
This way if a user selects a search using a keyword, or uses explore for example to select categories or albums, or select a specific image, this will be logged. Trends can be found from this.
From the 'stats', we can then determine areas of search that produced a low image count and then look to expand in these weak areas so enhancing and targeting the sites effectiveness for all. Equally those searches that are regular can have images added to make the site a better user experience.
An automated 'wanted' page for users can be easily produced that lists areas within the site that we are looking to focus new uploads, so being proactive rather than reactive.
