You asked for it, and it's finally here! Search analytics has officially landed in the Meilisearch Cloud! We've received numerous requests for a way to track key analytics in the Meilisearch Cloud, and we've been hard at work developing a solution that not only empowers you to make data-driven decisions, but also enhances the overall user experience.
So, what's all the buzz about? 🤔
The new dashboard incorporates a set of metrics providing insights into your users' search behaviors. Its purpose is to give you a quick and comprehensible overview of user search queries and highlight what they might be missing. The implications are vast:
- Improve recommendations and popular search sections, bolstering e-commerce through cross-selling.
- Create intelligence reports for your customers.
- Fine-tune settings and ranking rules to optimize search experiences and inform business decisions.
What metrics can you expect?
The first iteration of cloud analytics covers the following metrics:
- Daily searches chart
- Most searched queries
- Searches without results
- Daily search latency
- Total searches
- Total users
- No result rate
- Click through rate*
- Average click position
- Daily searches per index
- Conversion*
*The CTR (click-through rate) and the conversion rate must be configured to fit a specific use case or need.
The default view combines the data from the indexes per project, but it’s also possible to filter out the insights for a specific project of your choice. The dashboard also allows you to select a custom range using a date picker:
