I think the biggest issue is that people expect their search queries to be private. When the word got out that search log might become available we got a couple of angry remarks like "we didn't sign up for this", and "even google doesn't do it". Some form of statistics would probably be fine with our users, but the cut-off numbers would need to be high enough so that people no longer feel it is "their query".. r. _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
