An organization I used to work for wanted to be able to analyze search keywords entered on the website's search form. But the search was a homegrown system. So several business departments and the IT department entered into a series of long debates about whether to spend time adding extra functionality to the homegrown search or to just upgrade to something like Google Custom Search / Google Search Appliance -- both options that would have taken a long time, given the bureaucracy at the organization. Meanwhile, in looking at the site's logfile analyses, I noticed that the analysis software they were using was really good at letting you see stats on GET queries in URLs. A quick look at the HTML for the site's search form revealed that the form was using POST. I suggested to the IT dept that they simply change the search form to use GET instead of POST and call it a day. Done.
