The SearchStats extension tracks user searches that do not result in a direct hit from a page. The search saves the search term to a new table called search_query. Most recent 10 searches and top 10 searches can then be viewed on the SearchStats special page.
Installation
[edit]- Download and move the extracted
SearchStatsfolder to yourextensions/directory.
Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:cd extensions/
git clone https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/SearchStats - Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:
wfLoadExtension( 'SearchStats' );
- Run the update script which will automatically create the necessary database tables that this extension needs.
Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.
Future Ideas
[edit]The following are ideas of additional features that may or may not be added to this extension in the future:
- Tracking the user's role that did the search (assumes the user was logged in)
- Hard-code filtering out a certain role on the stats page
- LocalSettings configuration to turn tracking on and off
- LocalSettings configuration of which roles to ignore on the stats page
- Add a way to export full stats to a CSV file
- LocalSettings configuration for role access to the stats page
- Better tracking of all searches such as tracking direct hits
