Installed yesterday (clicked install here) and it originally showed 6 queries. Then 2. Its steady at 2. I used this hack back on Vb2 with less members then there are now and there were always plenty of searches listed. I checked the file from reading this thread and its set tot he default last 15.

Any idea off the top of your head what could be causing this?

I did wipe and rebuild my search index after install hoping that would fix it.

The seraches are only held in the db for 24 hours on vB3. I think it was 7 days (if I remember right) on the vB2 version of this hack.

Great hack, thanks!

Just curious why this is? Security issues?

If you (the Admin or Mods) do a search in a private area, it will show up on the list, even though users can't get into that area. By making it so the staff searches don't show up, it avoids any problems the users might have seeing what it is you were looking for in those areas. ;)

Boofo, is there a way to add it to switch this hack on and off?

You could probably do it with a profile field. ;)

Is there any way to change this? Unless the board is very active odds are no one will every see the latest searches.

The only way to change it would be to add another table and 1 or 2 queries to it and I'm not sure that would work as well as it does now. ;)

Great hack but it only seems to hold them for about an hour (or just less than 2 hours) on my board:

It's set to 15 searches. Any idea why that is, and how to fix it?
