I like this idea! Still valid. What is the default behaviour today? Looking at the search_history table of one of my sites it looks like logging is only done for logged in users? I think if you are not logged in search history is kept too, once you log in it will be added to your existing search history. You can see this behaviour by doing a search without being logged in - the search history link should show after your first search. We have just had a library 'complaining' about the fact that the anon history is added to the patron account on log in. This is especially a problem if the library offers computers for searching the OPAC in the library that get frequented by a lot of different users. I think this configuration option Matts proposed would be really helpful there.

We also have LoadSearchHistoryToTheFirstLoggedUser now that allows to determine what happens with the anonymous searches once a patron logs in. But it's still possible to see what other users searched for when you are using a public computer. So it might still be nice to have the option to limit search history logging to logged in users. |
