Last 10 Searches · **Released**: 03-06-2002

Greetings All:

Updated 3/11/2002: Hack now shows the date and time each search was made, plus the number of results. Also included is the security fix by firefly (thanks).

Updated 3/8/2002: It now also links those search words to the previous search results.

Here's just a little fun feature that I added for my users, and thought that I would share with everyone else. It works with versions 2.03 and up, requires no modifications to your database, and should take less than 2 minutes to install:

This hack displays the last 10 searches made by your users on your main site search page. It uses your censor options to make sure nothing naughty shows up (unless, that is, you want it to).

Demo at http://www.AntiOnline.com/search.php

Enjoy!

Just a performance question: when the last 10 searches are exposed this way, I can easly assume most of users will try one or another ...
Question: are these searches cached ? How long they last on the search table in db ?

Thanks

Yes, all searches are cached in the database for 7 days IIRC (not sure about the time).
When the user clicks the link, only the results are shows and the search is not ran again.

BTW there is a security issue with this hack that I will post a fix to later...

Ok, if a user can find a searchid of a search that was done by an admin / mod, and goes to that search, he will see all posts inlcuding these in private forums he shouldn't see.
Of course, this hack makes it even easier to find these searches as they are just one click away.

To solve the problem the hack created, replace the query:

Code:

 $lastsearches=$DB_site->query('SELECT searchid,querystring FROM search WHERE querystring!="" ORDER BY searchid desc LIMIT 0,10');

with this:

Code:

 $lastsearches=$DB_site->query('SELECT searchid,querystring FROM search LEFT JOIN user USING (userid) WHERE querystring!="" AND usergroupid NOT IN (5,6,7) ORDER BY searchid desc LIMIT 0,10');

This will make sure no searches submitted by admins, mods and super mods will show up on the list.

Thanks a lot for info and the fix...

O-T: have you noticed the small bug in search query_string when someone put the star BEFORE the word instead after ?
:surprised
This should be a bug due to some special char in regexp search. Submitted to vb.com, anyway...

Bye and thanks again.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
