search_keywords seems to offer this and more. Not sure why this module is an enhancement at this point other than it is filtering out other searches.

Can you add a description in a README.txt file?

Aha, I knew there would already be a module that would do search query extraction stuff, but I didn't found it. Apparently Search Keywords is only labeled as "administration module", while it deserves a "search" tag too IMHO.
Thanks for the pointer, I'll add a link on the project page of Search Engine Referers.

Anyway, the main difference at first sight is that Search engine referers is much simpler/lighter than Search Keywords:

  • less than 100 lines of code/4 functions versus 363 lines/15 functions for Search Keywords
  • no install/use of extra database table, it just parses the accesslog
  • no use of hook_exit(), as in Search Keywords, which interferes with aggressive caching

I guess some people might prefer a lightweight version of Search Keywords

thanks for bringing this up.

Hey, thanks for posting the module.. Damn hard to keep up with the good ideas out there.

I've put an explanation about the differences with Search Keywords module on the project page of Search Engine Referers. An extra README.txt does not seem necessary.

Yours is only lighter because it depends on a larger heavier module. Yours is 100 lines + statistics (over 500 lines) = over 600 lines. The other is simply 300 lines with no dependancies.

So, if you're using the Statistics module already, you're module is probably a better 'bet', however if you're NOT using the Statistics module then you're probably better off with Search Keywords.
