Back in MV3 there was a catalog.cfg directive called CollectData:
CollectData
The points at which to log various data items collected by MiniVend, such
as failed or successful searches. This allows you to find out what your
customers are searching for and NOT finding -- perhaps you want to add it,
or change your product description to match. Uses something like the HTTP
common log format.
The choices to enter are:
matched Search strings that match
nomatch Search strings that fail to match
page Pages that are accessed
nopage Pages that are not found
basket Items placed in shopping carts
cache Pages/searches added to cache
Enter as a space or comma-separated list, i.e.
CollectData matched,nomatch,page
...but it couldn't grep it in IC 4.x.x. You can roll your own without too
much trouble; take a look the [log] tag, which could be used to construct
logging code, which you could include in a [no-match] block on your results
page to catch those failed searches.
