generate a report reflecting the identified appearances of the specified word in the one or more page-specific open-ended comments concerning the one or more particular web pages of the website.

2. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the components are operable to count a number of identified appearances of the specified word in the one or more page-specific open-ended comments concerning the one or more particular web pages of the website; and

the report indicates the count of the number of identified appearances of the specified word in the one or more page-specific open-ended comments concerning the one or more particular web pages of the website.

3. The system of claim 1, wherein the report reflects each comment in which one or more appearances of the specified word are identified.

4. The system of claim 1, wherein:

the components are operable to receive page-specific subjective ratings from the users, each page-specific subjective rating concerning one of the particular web pages as a whole and being associated with one or more page-specific open-ended comments concerning the particular web page;

the report reflects the page-specific subjective ratings that are associated with the page-specific open-ended comments concerning the one or more particular web pages of the website in which one or more appearances of the specified word are identified.

5. The system of claim 4, wherein the users have been required to provide the page-specific subjective ratings concerning the particular web page as a whole to provide the associated page-specific open-ended comments concerning the particular web page.

6. The system of claim 5, wherein the report reflects an average of the page-specific subjective ratings that are associated with the one or more page-specific open-ended comments concerning the one or more particular web pages of the website in which one or more appearances of the specified word are identified.

7. The system of claim 1, wherein the one or more particular web pages of the website comprise all the web pages of the website.
