• 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.

• bennet, thankz for the excellent work.
  is it possible to have the ip address also with the search keyword?
  something like what ksearch used to do.
  like in my websiteit makes a log:
  http://www.rock-sea.net/ksearch/search_log.txt

  such a log would be beneficial.

• Rocksea, that feature wouldn’t really work with my plugin. Search Meter displays aggregate information rather than individual searches. Search Meter doesn’t actually keep separate information for each search — it simply keeps track of daily totals for each search in the past month. There’s nowhere I could sensibly put IP addresses, browsers or similar information without complicating the plugin a lot. If you want more detailed information, you probably need a logfile analyser like AWStats.

• Bennett, thanks for the reply. I have awstats. but awstats won’t connect with searches inside the blog, it can only connect with users who came thru searches outside the blog, rt? Ya, thanks.

• You’re right, Rocksea. The information you want will be in the web server log, but you’d need to do a bit of script programming to get it out. The other possibility is to modify Search Meter — but unfortunately I don’t have time to do it for you. Maybe somebody else will if they think it’s a useful feature.

  Bennett | 7 December 2005

• Hello Bennet… First of, I want to thank you for the amazing plugin.
  Unfortunately I’m having a similar problem as Miles Baker. Every time that I enter a term, the results will show it was searched 2 times and sometimes 4 times, but I did only once. Do you have any ideas or a fix?? Thank you!!

• I have the same problem as Alex, although mine registers 6 hits for every single search.

  Is your plugin, by chance, counting each PHP included level as one hit, thus a page with 6 includes becomes 6 hits?

  Pariah S. Burke | 17 December 2005

• OK, a few people seem to be having a problem with incorrect search counts. The plugin works by adding a filter to the the_posts hook, so it should not register multiple serches unless the hook gets called multiple times. I wonder if some other plugin is affecting it in some way.

  Could you please each send me a list of other plugins you are using? You can leave a comment here if you think it would be useful for others, or just email me directly.

  And Pariah, I assume you mean that it registers 6 searches for every single search, not 6 hits. Is this right?

  Thanks everybody. I have an idea how to fix this (even though I don’t know what the problem is!) but I need a little more information before I can release it.

  Bennett | 20 December 2005

• Hi,

  I think my problem could be related to the one above. My site shows 10 posts per page i.e. 30 posts would go over 3 pages. As a result, the hit count on any search is always a maximum of 10 even if the search returns 30 posts.

  What are your thoughts on this? Do you think it’s related or a seperate problem all together?

  Otherwise, fantastic plug-in! Thanks very much for providing it.
