Last 10 Searches

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!

i dont know lol i was messing with chens fix for the admins not showing changing it back and forth and it worked for some reason

[S.Shady]

Lmao gues what i did. I reformated my hd and had to reupload my last backup of everything before i reformated right. so upload the files and all but then my problem goes back.

So i took out the mod supermod and admin part and got it working. Ill mess with it to see if i can get it working again

A wish:

Make a DB, where the top 10 most searched names are stored of all the searches made. That would be really of some good, so admin would know, what they're users are after for.

[Talisman]

Mine's not working quite right. When I search for something that's already been searched for (logged in as a regular member; not an admin), it does not appear on the Last 10 listing...... if say, it was searched for 20 or 30 searches ago.

The "last 10" list only shows search strings that have NEVER been searched for before.

How do we dump old searches so people can find them again?

[Talisman]

Hello? Please help.

This is a great hack. But when we search for something that's already been searched for..... it won't show up on the "Last 10 Searches" list.

That's not how this function works here. So what's wrong with the code?

What do I do?

Thanks!!

Jump on my site and check out my search page. Play with it a bit and see if it does what you want. If it does, let me know and I can give you the modified code that I use for the hack.

[Talisman]

Ohh, yes. That's a lovely arrangement, Boof..... except for your dreadful color scheme and that gawd-awful mouse flapping around all over the place. (He's so much like our wild banana-man.)

:banana: :banana: :banana:

That would really help to see the code you're using. (Thanks!) Maybe then I could spot the problem with mine.... figure out why it won't let us list the same search twice.

I've made a few of the same changes you did at the top - mostly the way Chen set this up here. But then I gave up trying to get rid of the lines between rows. I know that's a very simple change to make..... just very annoying that I couldn't find what I was looking for.

As usual, you made some very nice changes to the basic hack. I really like what you've done with the central search section. On our search page (here), I also added the Google-Web Search hack at the bottom.
