Hi all

Is there a way to see what kind of search terms are queried on my custom search box?

If you display the results on your site, you can do this with PHP, just extract the search term from the result's URL ($term = $_GET['q']). The processed string can then be stored in MySQL with timestamp etc so you can call stats by day etc.

If you need more, should find plenty if you GS it.

You can also turn it on in Google Analytics, if you are running that.

Thanks ThirdWheel, that was a nice way to extract the search terms.

NetMeg, We do not have Analytics on our website.
