The Week's Top Searches

screen_search.jpg

A big part of web publishing is paying attention to performance metrics—not just how many people come to a site and with what frequency (though that is remarkably important), but taking a close look at where they come from, what they come looking for, where they go on the site, what they do on the site, and where they go when they leave.

Like just about every site, a big chunk of BRO’s traffic comes from Google. And those queries in a way reflect a part of the local zeitgeist. We thought you might find them interesting, so here they are—the top keyword searches leading to BRO this week:

Nice to see that other folks use tracking for reasons other than stalking........

Hope anyone who has been involved with "talks" outside sees this.

How about your top site searches?

Speaking of which, what the heck is a "Regex" search? Never heard of it before BRO and I've been immersed in the Net since 1993.

Speaking of searches, when I search your site and I'm browsing with Firefox 2.0.0.1, it crashes. The same thing happens when I post a comment.

Has anyone else reported this problem?

Regex (or regular expression) is a sentence written in a language to describe patterns.

Regex search is a way to specify conditions to be fulfilled for a situation in mind. Normally when you search in a text editor you specify the text to search for literally, using regular expression, on the other hand, you tell what a given match would look like. Examples of this includes I'm searching for the word KDE, but only at the beginning of the line, or I'm searching for the word the, but it must stand on its own, or I'm searching for files starting with the word test, followed by a number of digits, for example test12, test107 and test007 docs.kde.org
