Questions answered by this recipe

How can I see a list of the search terms used on my site?

Description

This script makes a tag like list of the search terms used on your site. Using the directive (:searchcloud:), you'll see a list of the search terms used on your site. The most used terms will look bigger in the list.

Installation

To install this script, download searchcloud-2022-12-01.php, copy it into your cookbook/ subdirectory, rename it as searchcloud.php, and add the line

to your local/config.php file.

Usage

Without parameters the search cloud is displayed, increasing font size and font-weight based on the search term frequency.

Lists search terms in ascending alphabetical order, with no additional formatting

Lists search terms in ascending frequency order, with no additional formatting

Config file options

Default values are shown.

Notes

The 2022 version has been largely rewritten, see the release notes.

Search terms are saved after being converted to a canonical form, which amongst other things:

• coverts text to lower case
• removes leading and trailing non-alphanumeric characters

A number of terms are saved, but not displayed, e.g.

• excludes terms with prefixes such as "list=", "group=", "trail=", "link=", "category=", and "name="
• excludes search terms that do not contain a Unicode alphanumeric character

This recipe does not (yet) handle Unicode correctly.
It is likely the recipe will work best if:

• The PHP international extension is enabled
• Your wiki has UTF-8 enabled
• If using IIS
  • set encoding to UTF-8 in web.config by adding the globalization element

    <system.web>
        <globalization 
            requestEncoding="utf-8"
            responseEncoding="utf-8"
        />
    </system.web>

  • FastCGI: Using UTF-8 Encoding for Server Variables
