Hello there.
Can weblog Expert allow me to display/filter the search results from my log file so that it only pulls back particular terms?

For example, this is a small excerpt of a couple of lines of my log file
/search-results view=Search+results&search=bottle+water
/search-results view=Search+results&search=yellow+cheese

Is there anything I can do that will display the search terms in a list and tell me how many times each search item is present in the log file?
Thanks.
D

If you use the Professional or Enterprise edition, it is possible to create a custom table on such searches. You need to create a new table in Options > Report > Tables. When you add the table, you need to choose the "Query parameter value" as main data when you add the table, click the "Custom..." button to the right of this combo box, and enter "search" (without quotes) as parameter value.
