Logging application errors using 'warn' - is possible in Perl (thanx ARD) and if you include the CGI::Carp module it will stamp the Time, Date and application address and line number for you as well. Have modified QuickSearch to report failures to match all keywords in a user search. Here's an example error.log entry...

[Fri May 17 15:06:43 2002] quicksearch.cgi: No Matches for [apples oranges] at /usr/local/apache/cgi-bin/quicksearch.cgi line 178.

We can then grep the log file and run reports on demand to show whats not turning up at all in searches.
