Zeitgeist

Inspired by the Google Zeitgeist reports I knocked out a service in 2005 which queries a database of searches carried out on various web enabled applications on our public web server.

Each of the applications logs search results and whether they were successful or not to a single database, and a CGI script displays these as a report which refreshes every few secs so a user can see live searches being carried out by visitors to the site.

The search data is anonymous, only the search string, the application, and the date/time are logged. An XML dump is provided on all report pages should a user want to use the data for their own reporting purposes.
