    What is the strangest query you have seen someone searching on your forums?

    I know this because I searched for it.

    Is there a way to find past searches at all? We get lots of weird brand names and tile names and on an electricians forum we have lots of codes (or they look like codes to me, they make sense of them somehow though).

    Theres a mod that will record them on the .org, were considering it as it could benefit user experience as we can see what they have searched for and if say its something like "how do i do log out" then we can make sure people know exactly how to in the future, improve any accessibility issues.

    Singapore Whore House is strangest I saw in Google Analytics.

    I know why the found my site as I have a user in Singapore that is a member of the Wheel Whores usergroup for those that have had 11 or more sets of wheels for their MINI.

    Are we talking about Gearch's coming to our site?

    Or are we talking about actual searches on the forum itself?

    On a site I mod on, the staff had a discussion about a member searching "Obama's sex tape" (conspiracy site). That was definitely a thread where I lol'd.

    If Gearch (2 for ya Dan :D ), I came to this site looking for some usergroup images...literally, user group images returned this site about 5 I think it was.

    Don't pay attention to what people search for on my site or if they even do.
