I tried upgrading another mod a few days ago which mangled some of the database tables (which were repaired). When installing this mod, it somehow was affected by the other mod phpAdsNew Banner Ads integration

Anyway, I was able to correct this by having several of the templates reloaded. What a PITA.

As soon as I'm sure the other mod is fully uninstalled, I'll try this again.

Since people are likely to click on them because...they can....it would seem those "most searched" words would be inflated and always remain showing in the top 20 most searched.

Maybe append a new parameter to the end of the link to each of those search terms something like (searchstats=donotcount for example). Where if that parameter is passed when clicking on the link, the searchstats plugin knows not to add to the count for that word/phrase. This way the only words counted in the search stats are terms people actually searched for on their own.

Anyway, just an idea. That was a change on made on mine.
There's no perfect solution to this because either way you are losing some data.. If someone clicks the link perhaps they would have searched for it anyways (and then you are discarding that).

Perhaps if they were kept track of separately (for admins to view)... So you can see how many clicks the 'search links' got on the homepage, and separately how many times someone entered a keyword search. Two separate stats.

Personally, once I have the time to install this mod, I am just going to use it to collect search stats for my own informational purposes (assuming it can be used this way)

By the way, how does this affect guests who have to enter the captcha verification before performing a search? If they click the keywords on the homepage, does it then take them to the advanced search with the keywords filled in (assuming captcha is turned on for guest searches)?

I have customs usergroup "Bulldog Guard" with user group id:9

Then when I set "who can see most searched keywords?" to 5,6,9 there only usergroup id 5,6 who can view the most searched keywords stats in the mainpage.

All user who included usergroup 9 doesnt see it.

Please help.
