Search Log
The core Search module provides a simple list of top search phrases from the watchdog log using the function watchdog_top. However, most sites clear watchdog frequently. Search Log stores search terms indefinitely and provides more robust reporting.
- Search Log supports all modules which implement hook_search(). Modules can be configured to be excluded from logging.
- Search Log supports the search page, search block and theme search forms. By default, logging is performed at form submit before the search results are generated, but developers can implement a search_log hook to add additional entries to the log or record failed searches.
- Search Log table can be truncated at a user-specified interval or kept indefinitely.
- Search Log reporting can be filtered by date, module and (if implemented by a developer) status.
- Search Log provides a configurable block of Top Searches.
