Re: help with creating a directory ie front page menu of common terms

[David Wallace <da...@nzqa.govt.nz>]

This is true.  What I do is I have Nutch log all the searches.  Every few weeks, I grab the most common search terms out of the log and turn them into my "common searches" menu.  Although having a manual process is not desirable, it does remove the possibility that a spammer will sabotage my menu.
 
Regards,
David.

Just a note that while this idea is good, displaying 'recent searches' 
can be used by spammers. All they have to do is hammer your server with 
a bunch of queries to 'www.some-poker-site.com' and their website gets a 
link from yours. I'd be very leary of republishing any user inputs to 
your system as it's prone to abuse.
