Report: Overall Search Activity

The Overall Search Activity report gives you a broad overview of SearchSpring request activity on your store. It can be used to see not only how much traffic you're getting per day, but to break down which queries came from shoppers, search engines, or a custom group of IP addresses set by you.

Date Range

The date selector at the top right of the page is used to change the range of dates for which you'd like to view details of this report. 

Chart

The chart shows you how many total search queries were performed each day in your selected date range. You can hover over the graph to see a detailed breakdown of each day, and you can click the legend items to disable or enable a metric from showing on the chart. The chart is broken down to identify how much traffic was from Shoppers (User Queries), Search Engines, and Internal Users. More details on those segments below. 

Total Queries

This number shows the total number of search queries for the entire duration of your selected date range. 

Total User Queries

Users are normal shoppers visiting your site. This number shows the total number of search queries from your shoppers, as well as its overall percentage of all search queries. 

Total Internal User Queries

Internal Users are any searches from computers with any of the IP addresses that are configured on your Advanced Settings page. You can use this to identify employees of your company, developers, or any other segment of users that you know the IP address for. 

This number shows the total number of search queries from these users, as well as its overall percentage of all search queries. If you don't have any IP addresses set up in Advanced Settings, this number will be 0. 

Total Search Engine Queries

This number shows the total number of search queries from search engines while indexing your site, as well as its overall percentage of all search queries.
