Save searches/queries run

[Dave Williams]

Would like to save searches visitors make,so I can then expand on areas that are being searched on,or those that receive low responses. This enabling me to improve/expand the site photo archives where they are needed.

Other than make a trigger in MySQL,are their any planned functions to do this?

Any suggestions on how best to do this please?

Many thanks
Dave

In my opinion, this could be done best with external logging, such as "Google Analytics" or "Piwik".
I would prefer Piwik. It has grown quiet powerful over the last years: https://piwik.org/docs/site-search/

Hi, I agree for web stats Google Analytics works very well and use. However, this does not work for website search logs.

The ability to see what people entered into the search prompt, or what was clicked in explore is so much more useful. This can really only be done at source.

Historically I have always built this into my MS ASP and .Net dynamic sites but guess I need to learn PHP in order to do the same in custom code here.

Thanks anyway.

The system uses GET for searches, meaning that all searches are logged in the access_log file (server). If you want the system to do it for you, then please open a new request for it.
