I've been looking for a way to adjust the search pages to show a variety of stats from the search database.

Modifying a 'top5' routine that was written before, you can generate a bunch of variables that hold a list of data.

I _don't_ use SSI, so i have no way to make that sort of version work.

But, here is a list of things to do to add a <%top5%> tag to any of the templates that use HTML_Templates.pm -- including search.cgi so you can put a suggested list in that file.

First:

Add:
to the top of the HTML_Templates.pm 'use' list, and

<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">code:</font><HR><pre>
use Links: I've created a few different routines, and can test/debug each of them and use them separately.
