Re: how to see what users are searching

You could try using
<form action="something.asp" method="get"><input name=SearchString>
instead of
<form action="something.asp" method="post"><input name=SearchString>
so the query appears in the address bar ?
something.asp?SearchString=words+typed+in

.... and in the "cs-uri-query" column of the log files.
There is a limit on the amoint of info you can pass using GET,
and it exposes the workings slightly.

You may have to change 'Request.Form("SearchString")' to
'Request.Querystring("SearchString")' ,
[or just 'Request("SearchString")' which will work either way]

Hello to all
in my web server as you know i run iis; the log file is in the w3c
format.
I'd like to see what people search.
in these log files, i can see what document they open as a result of
query but I cannot see what the type in the search box;
i can read that they post all the time my idq file and after they get
a document, but i cannot what they typed in the search box
(userresctiction)

Is there any way to log the search query?
tnx in advance
all the time
