After turning on Search Logging where do I read the Log files?

[scarney]

I would like to find a document that tells where to read the log files after turning on Search Logging in the Global Configuration.

I would love to see what people are searching for when they visit my site, assuming they are searching at all!

Thanks,  Sean Carney

In back-end: Site > Statistics > Search Text.
You have to be a SuperAdmin to have this option.

That was too easy!  Thanks.

Now... for something maybe not so easy.  I just did a couple test searches.  Each search that I did once shows up as having been 2 Times Requested.  Have you see anything like that before?

[pe7er]

Weird.
What Joomla version?

What browser do you have?
Does it also occur with another browser (like FireFox -> find out if it's browser related)?

Does it only contain even numbers at the requests?

I am using Joomla 1.0.11with firefox.

If you wanted to try this out you could visit my page at http://www.a-1accommodations.com and search for some term.  Then tell me what you searched for and I will let you know how may times the report tells me it was searched for.

I wondered if maybe this oddity is somehow caused by the template but that makes no sense to me.

It is really odd.  I also tried this in IE and it does the same thing.  Odd!

Each time I do a search is reports that search as 2 times requested.

I used FireFox and searched for my username (pe7er). I entered it in the upper right box and pressed enter.

Than I used the link to http://www.a-1accommodations.com/compon ... /Itemid,5/
and searched for pe7er2.

If you think that it is template related, you could select some standard template like rhuk solarflare and test it with that.

Thanks so much. I see my system registering 2 site requests for each of your searches instead of one.  I will try to test with another template now. 

[scarney]

OK.  I tried with the solar flare template and had the same problem.  So, this is not template related.  Very odd.

[pe7er]

Yes it is odd indeed... I haven't read about this problem before....

Could you check the (apache) logfiles on your webserver?
Could you find out if the search keywords are posted multiple times?
Could you find out if other page requests are also in doubles?
