Wikipedia search logs needed
by Simon Givoli 04 Apr '15

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.

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
