[Web4lib] Common queries and common misspellings

[K.G. Schneider]

As a continuation to a previous post, Has anyone on Web4Lib or LITA-L
recently done any search query logging and/or analysis that they'd be
willing to share with us? We're evaluating search engines this spring (with
an emphasis on faceted engines, if you're curious) and we're interested in
both our own data and OPD (Other People's Data). 

I'm broadening my search for current examples of frequently-used search
terms and common misspellings keyed into web search engines, and possibly
also OPACs and library websites.  

I found an interesting website:

http://www.wordtracker.com/

And subscribed to the free weekly mailing. Their fee-based product looks
interesting too. Has anyone here used it?
