You'd be shocked how many different ways there are

Hey all,
I recently added a simple but very effective feature on my client's site. I
just never thought of doing this but once it hit me, I was like yeah! That'd be
great. And don't expect any rocket science, it's ol' Will here. :)

Is it not standard practice to log all searches
to your db?
Depends on the application and the client's needs. It's really your job as
a developer to make your client's life easier by providing them with tools
they can use to run their business (assuming they want to pay for them, of
course).

Hey all,
Just thought I'd share that little tidbit with you all because I've never

Do it at the day job. (Large independent Office Supplies B2B company.)
Want to know not only what people are searching for, but also how long
the query took and how many records come back. Currently analysing
results where no results come back to improve the results if it is
something we sell.

Heck, I'm seeing sandlas, then sandals next search.

Hey Will,
One thing I've done along these lines is to record both the top
seaches and the top results clicked for the top searches. I set off
the top few at the top in a different color, kind of like Google's
Sponsored Links section. Makes a nice Other users seaching for
Sandals liked: kinda
