The Dashboard view of Online
Searches tells you where users are actively searching on the Internet
and what they are searching for. Spector 360 captures any search being
accomplished by standard search engine techniques. Use
Online Search Event Criteria to focus the Dashboard view of Online Searches
on specific keywords, programs, domains, or search engines.
Narrow online search events that the Dashboard retrieves by searching for specific words.
To search for keywords:
Type the keywords you want to match (for example, "dating") and then select fields in which to find the match. For more about keyword matching, click here.
Include partial matches: Check to look for a partial match; for example, the search word "man" would match "mankind" or "manage" in any of the following data fields.
Search Phrase: Match your "Search for" keyword(s) to words in the search phrase the user entered. In the example shown above, an event where a user searched for "dating services for professionals" in Google would be returned.
URL: Match the keyword(s) to characters in the URL of web sites returned in the search. This is the URL returned after the user executes the search (the hit list). It includes domain of where the search occurred plus search tags and query: for example, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=online+dating+services+for+professionals
Window Caption: Match the keyword(s) to text displayed in the window caption. The window caption usually contains the search query and the site where the search occurred.
Retrieve online search events based on the program used to conduct them (Internet Explorer, Netscape, etc).
To limit events by program:
Specify a program or group of programs you wish to include or exclude. Make a selection from the Programs drop-down list. See Viewing by Program.
Focus on known web site domains. For example, check out search activity at "monster.com" or "ebay.com."
To limit events by domain:
Specify a domain or group of domains you wish to include or exclude in this query. Make a selection from the Domains drop-down list. See Viewing by Domain.
Focus the Dashboard results on one or more known search engines, such as AltaVista and Yahoo. Keep in mind that Spector 360 records online searches from any site where known search techniques are used; so with All selected you will get results from search engines besides those listed below.
Select from:
<All>: No filtering; returns online searches from all sites where searching was detected. Selecting <All> deselects any other selections.
