Internal Search Statistics
-
Hey, I have a site which contains a search feature I wrote in asp.net. I have statistics for my general site info, and it shows me how many people go to the search page, but it doesnt show me what they are searching for. So i am wondering the best way to go about this. I though I could just create another table in my database and record the search results to it. Is this a common approach? And if i did this would it slow down the searching? If anyone has had experience i would be good to get some knowledge on the best and simplest way to go about it. ThanKs for your time. MySweet10! - The Advanced Search Engine

I think that the common approach might be to record the search queries instead of results since, results might be very large. Also if you have search queries and data to be searched in, you can get the results anytime. By the way, i took a look at your Sweet10. It was nice ! :)
