John, it looks as if the Search Meter database table was never created. This is supposed to happen when you activate the plugin. (Do you know whether you have permission to create new database tables on your host?) Try deactivating and reactivating the plugin, if you haven’t already. I will think about how I can create a diagnostic version of Search Meter for you.
Hi,
When I tried to activate the plugin, I get the following message:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘{’ in /home/domain_name/public_html/blog2/wp-content/plugins/search-meter.php on line 39
where “domain_name” is the name of my web site.
I couldn’t go back to the plug-in screen to deactivate the Search Meter plug-in. In fact, my entire Blog is showing the error message.
I had to delete Search Meter directly from the plug-in directory before my entire Blog can be seen again.
Any idea where I might have gone wrong?
Thanks!
Shaun
Shaun, your copy of the file got corrupted somehow. Once that happens, you often have to delete the file to recover.
I suggest trying again. If it still fails, tell me the exact steps you took to download and install the file. Hopefully I’ll be able to spot the problem.
Hi
Great plugin. Is there anyway to display mroe than 5 results and to also remove the ?
Regards

never mind found it
Hello Bennett,
I found a little problem with your software:
A spammer has - how ever he does it - sent the following string to my blog’s search page:
Hi! Good site [url=http://some.spammers-url.com
I found it recently in my statistics. Well, currently it does not harm because I have no public search-words-list but I plan to do so. Does anyone know how to make it a bit more sure that the spammer cannot use his spam-software to fillin his webpage as a search key word?
Quix0r
Quix0r, this is not a problem. The Popular Searches list only shows searches that actually produce results. So “some.spammers-url.com” won’t show up in your Popular Searches unless you actually have a blog post containing that text. Nothing will appear in your Popular Searches unless it is already in your site anyway.
Oopps, I found it out some minutes later I posted my previous message here.
I don’t want to sound fussy but maybe you can add a “last-successful-search-term” function which displays the latest success search in the way “Last Post” or “Last Commentator” is?
I guess this is very easy and will improve your already very-good plugin a little more.
Or shall I do this for you?
Quix0r
PS: Sorry for my bad english but I have only school-english here.
Quix0r, I suppose that would be easy enough with a little SQL magic. I am currently recovering from illness so don’t have the capacity to do it just now. I will look into it in a week or so.
nice and simple - loving it thanks. I may spend a little time munging the “search referalls” logic out of BDP Referral Tracker in to this. BDP does WAY too much - all i want are search engine terms, and adding them into your table with “google: ” etc tacked on the front of the search term in the table would work nicely enough.
(if i get round to it, i’ll be sure to let you know. i’ll try to make it work as an optional plugin that relies on yours being present.)
actually i’ve managed to knock something up v quick already!
