I know that this has been touched on before, but it'd be really handy if there was a way to remove unwanted words from the search cloud.

this mod is not visible on a certain forum skin while other is..

Installed and customized.

If there is any need of Demo, here are mine (one in CMPS and one in search template):

HOW TO DELETE UNWANTED TERMS FROM THE SEARCH CLOUD

I found a way to do it.

1. Log-in to PhpMyAdmin

2. Click on your forum's database.

3. Click on vbgoogle_searches in the left-hand column

4. Click on the BROWSE tab in the page that opens up.

5. Check the box of each search term you wish to delete and then click on the red X.

That's it.

working nice.. Thanks.

thanks

This plugin is a performance killer on a site with many Google keywords searches. We get over 600,000 Google searches each month. This mod just kills our SQL database performance unless we constantly trim the tables.

Can the developer fix this?

Perhaps offering an option to trim the table after it grows to some number in the database?

Also, I think there may be other problems, but this one obviously ruined our site performance recently, including (we think maybe) causing a crash, many hours of debugging etc.

Did I miss a warning somewhere about sites with many keyword searches every day?

I'm using a custom coded version of this mod on my site which has caching support. You're right, if you're getting too many hits from Google it'll kill your SQL database performance in time. You may delete the search terms with only 1 hit. Another thing you can do is wrapping the main plugin with if conditionals so it'll only be executed @ forumdisplay, showthread. Sorry, the core script is "Simple Search Cloud"...

Thanks.

We had to disable this plugin because we get more than 600,000 Google keywords searches a month and this plugin kills our database performance.

I hope you will add more options in the future so it can be used with "bigger boards" .
