Display Most Popular keywords when no results are found

[swati maini]

Hi

We have a requirement to display 5 most popular keywords when no
search results are returned for a query.
Currently, for this Use Case we are first creating status reports on
Admin Console using Java APIs and then we are parsing that report to
get the list of 5 most searched keywords for a particular day.

Is this the only way we can implement this use case? Or there is some
other better approach to do this?

Please suggest.

Thanks
Swati

you can use GSA's search report(Status and Reports--> search reports)
to get "Searches that did not return results" for specified period.
It will generate the list in xml.

I would recommend that for any regular or intensive search reporting
queries, you not use the appliance at all. Instead, export the log
files to another server, and analyze those directly. You can automate
the export of log files using syslog, and you can use all sorts of web
log analysis tools, or build your own.

The appliance can generate reports for searches that did return
results, or for searches that didn't return results, but it can't
generate a single report that covers both. To find the five most
searched keywords, you might have to look at both data sets.
