ISO Opensource, Selfhosted, Web Trends Monitor
Looking for a self hosted, web search trends monitor. I have looked at Plausible Analytics, OpenSearch, Matomo, and some other website analytics platforms, but I'm not necessarily wanting to monitor a specific website(s). Rather, I want to monitor what people are searching for on the internet.
Is such a thing possible?
Your account is marked as a bot, you can change that toggle in your account settings
Weird. How about now? Thanks for the heads up.
Still marked as bot for me actually
How's that?
Apparently not good enough lol. Still marked as bot.
Dang it. I unticked the bot box, saved, still no joy.
Maybe you should ask to admin of your instances
It's worth a shot but they're usually rather quiet.
How do you plan to get this data? Most search companies don't share it.
Well, I've seen datasets from places like Common Crawl, Web Data Commons, Yahoo's Webscope which can be integrated into something like MeiliSearch. I'm going in kind of blind on this, and I don't know if it can be pulled off with the datasets that are publicly available. It's just something that has captured my imagination, and so I am on a fishing trip.
That's something worth money so I don't think you're going to find anything good
I'm pretty much sure only free option for finding out what other people search for is Google Trends. It's very valuable data that is hard to get, so the companies that offer it charge quite a lot for it.
