Additional information / functionality for Search Log
I'm looking at making the search results on a website better. The data on the search log gives me a list of the most recent searches, but what would be much more helpful (to me, anyway) is to have a few more things:
1. A filter for searching the log, so I can easily find how many queries had a specific term in them.
2. The number of results from the search listed in the log, so I can quickly gauge if there's a common search term getting poor/no results.
3. The ability to sort by row title (preferably with multiple rows at once, so I can quickly check a user's searches ordered by date, allowing me to figure out the result they were trying to achieve.)

The filtering and sorting are doable, for sure. Having the # of results is actually very tricky to do. Will ponder on it.

Any update on including the number of results returned in the log?

Not so far. It depends on a change in EE's "API" (which isn't really an API), because now, it's really awkward to actually get to that info. The search is logged before the actual results are generated.
