• Thanks Ozh, that is something I should really do. I am probably not as careful as I should be about this sort of thing — I do avoid PHP 5+ and MySQL 4.1+ features, but other than that, the code only works if you’re fairly current and have all the bells and whistles on (like short PHP tags). I have added this task to my steadily lengthening list.

• Bennet, that would be great.

  I’m looking through the db for my site now and can see the searches in wp_bas_searches, but I don’t see any way of identifying which of these searches were succesful.

  Also, my only concern with adding the recent searches to the site would be if people started to use cuss words to search the site - clearly I don’t wan’t those displayed

  How easy would it be to add a stop-list?

  If you need any help on this, give me a shout… I’m not the best coder (For sure), but I can help out here and ther

• Thanks for the input, Oliver. I’m just testing a new version of Search Meter, which has a few improvements, including a “Popular Searches” template tag and a Reset button. (By the way, successful searches are represented by rows with last_hits > 0.) I will update Search Meter to the new version in the next day or two.

  You won’t need to worry about the Popular Searches list showing rude words — it will only display searches that were successful, so it will only show up words that actually occur in your blog. So if you never use the word “horsefeathers” in your blog, then it will never show up as a Popular Search no matter how many times people search for it. (After all, there’s no point showing searches that don’t yield any results.)

  If you need any help with safe “swear” words to use on your blog, I have posted a useful list of child-safe swear words. Please feel free to add to the list!

  [...] Second is a neat little plugin called Search Meter. This thing keeps track of all searches made and lets me look at them in the admin interface.[...]

• I have updated Search Meter to version 1.1, incorporating good suggestions from Darrell, Oliver and Ozh. Thanks for your help.

• Hey Bennett,

  I love the new functionality of the Search Meter, thanks for implementing all of this.

  I do have another request for ya though…

  It would be nice if the meter could archive searches so we can look at quarterly and yearly search patterns. I guess I just hate to lose data that might be useful down the road.

• Suggestion: Allow admins to see search stats only from a certain level up. You know, the way upload is restricted.

  I run a blog with where many various people post and I don’t want all of them to be able to see the search stats.

  I’m assuming the options page dissapears when the user level drops too low to show the entire options section, right?

• Hi there,

  this is a great plugin but do you think you could also get it to work as a wpmu plugin? I mean activate it sitewide as a plugin?

  cheers

• I haven’t investigated WPMU, but maybe I will have to have a look. Don’t hold your breath though!

• Searches showing up as either 2 or 4 times for a single search.

  I will enter “test” in my search and the results will show it was searched 2 times and sometimes 4. Any ideas why I am not getting an accurate search count?

• Probably me, the stats are currently viewable by anybody, but the reset function is only available to the administrator. To make stats viewable only by higher level users, increase the number “1″ in tguy_sm_add_admin_pages().

  Miles: I have never seen this problem. I’d appreciate it if you could give me any more information. Thanks.
