Search term loggin

I imagine it's possible, logging the search term that was used to visit your site. Does anyone have any good examples.

You would check the HTTP referrer and then extract the search term from the relevant GET parameter.

Something like the following will do it for Google:

php Code:

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']))
{
    if(preg_match('~&q=(?P<term>[^&]+)~i', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], $aMatches))
    {
        echo 'Search term: ' . urldecode($aMatches['term']);
    }
}
