Tracking search results

Hi.

An important thing for any webshop is to able to track what people search for.

Is this in any way possible with the current version of opencart?

Or has anyone been able to setup the search tracking in Google Analytics so it tracks opencart searches?

No one got a suggestion for this?

This can be done, but its a big contribution to write. If anyone is willing to write it I will include it in the next re;lease of opencart.

Is it more simple to make the search be posted in the URL?
Like: That way you can track the search results externally.

Could just add a search history table that gets appended whenever the search button is clicked with the ip, search string, etc. That shouldn't be too hard. I'll take a look.

wow thanks!

Ok, I've got this about 60% done.

I have database logging working and I am logging the following fields.
- search_id (unique_id that auto-increments)
- search_term (what you searched for)
- search_time (stores the now() time)
- search_results (storing all the product id's that it finds)

The next step is to add an admin page to view and delete this data.

Sounds just great!
