Search

Search analytics allows you to view metrics on searches, users, and no result searches and identify keywords that are often searched or that do not return results. This information helps determine gaps in documentation and also popular search terms.

Accessing Search analytics

From the Knowledge base portal, go to Analytics → Search

Bar Graph Metrics

There are three metrics shown in the Search bar graph:

1. Total search: Number of searches performed by users on the selected project version.
2. Users: Number of unique users who have used the search feature in the selected project version/language.
