Search Analytics for Your Site: Conversations with Your Customers
by
Louis Rosenfeld (Goodreads Author),
Steve Krug, Avinash Kaushik
Any organization that has a searchable web site or intranet is sitting on top of hugely valuable and usually under-exploited data: logs that capture what users are searching for, how often each query was searched, and how many results each query retrieved.

I read the seminal "Information Architecture for the Web" book by Rosenfeld before. Good book, terribly boring and dry. Not here. Working through the book with actual data and dusting of MS Excel, it is immediately compelling and accessible. I can see the benefits of trawling through this data could have.

One of the best business related books I've ever read; It's incredibly well-written and full of actionable information.
