Search Meter: a WordPress plugin
Simple search log analysis for WordPress, part of a better search experience.
New tool being created to analyse the logs of a search interface and pull out information about the most searched for terms, things returning lots of (or no) results, plus information regarding best bets.
Lisa Chan from Stanford emailed me, wanting to know if we could work together on building a search log analyzing system. I emailed her back with a stack of the details of stuff that I was planning and haven’t heard back… I wonder why not? Maybe she’s taken my ideas and is off building it without me?
UPDATE: I still haven’t heard from Lisa ๐
Just kidding, but I got some details back from Lisa C, and she appears to have some very specialised requirements for her system. I have suggested that it might be better if we work together to develop a “base system” which would include the complete logging functionality, and then she can customise and/or extend the reporting/analysis interface as required.
I think this approach should work quite well, allowing me to collaborate on a logging module, and to refine the database schema, then develop a generic, “useful-across-the-board” analysis interface, which should be capable of being extended easily. Metabase, here I come.
