Collecting Search Results

Hi there,

Is there any way in which the search terms that people use in a backlight 2 install - search input field, can be collected for instance in a textfile or spreadsheet?

Would this be a Phplugins edit?

Any help appreciated,

Cheers
Chumby.

Re: Collecting Search Results

Hi Chumby, the search terms aren't logged at all.

Re: Collecting Search Results

Hi Chumby,

You don't need phplugins for that. If you are using Google Analytics, there is a simple solution available! I wrote this a very long time ago when I created a search feature called GallerySearch for CE3. But the integration with Google Analytics still works with Backlight 2: https://danielleu.com/blog/2014/03/goog … erysearch/
