Search isn't cached, so it may be easier to just log it at the backend. I expect many people using things like "please tell me how many people live in China", as revealed by such titles being created. My conclusion is that some people (10%?) don't know how to search in a encyclopedia. I mean, we have an article called [[China]] with a proper Population section... While reading this thread I have deleted a page called "Why do ghosts manifest themselves?" with content "fogcpijkñldjlkcmvlkmc.,vmblcjgmlkjglkjmf,.mfdgfdolfgdjk" [1]. I'm thinking in an extension to feed with regex extracting the actual title they may be loking for. Sampled search logs are unlikely to reveal them though, since what they are repeating are the non-keywords, not the full query. 1-http://es.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Por_que_se_manifiestan_los_fantasmas _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
