Thanks Oliver,
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.
My dissertation will involve consented participants. Their search logs will
be recorded while searching Wikipedia. The search logs will then be
analyzed in order to find recurrent search patterns across participants.
Before beginning the experiment, I want to check that I can indeed find
patterns in search logs, using several different algorithms. The idea is to
check these algorithms on Wikipedia search logs already available. Hence my
request.

Hi,
I'm looking for a dump or db of Wikipedia users search logs. I would like
it to be with recent data, but it doesn't have to be extensive, even a
small sample size would be sufficient. I aim to use this db to test a new
research tool I'm developing for my dissertation.
Can anyone point me to a relevant source?
Thanks'
Simon
