Spector 360 records online searches
when it detects them. The Client Recorder looks for standard searching
techniques, captures the search phrase entered by the user, the search
results URL, and other information. Using the Dashboard, you can tell
whether users just opened a web site or were actively searching for information
on the site. Use the information to understand why a user is at a site.
For example, find out whether a user is searching a job site for professional growth information or for a new job.
