Search Analytics

The Analytics page displays how shoppers use the Search feature in the store. Currently, only stores using elastic search are supported. Users can view the analytics dashboard in the Search tool only after completing the dashboard configuration.

This page provides information about search performance, such as Search Term Trends, Search Term Revenue, Search Term Refinements, Top searches, Search Misses, Search Hits, and Search Exits.

Note: The Search tool supports Universal Analytics and Google Analytics 4 integration for reporting. The fields displayed on the screen vary depending on the configuration.
Note: Analytics has several standard and calculated metrics considered currency values. The global currency type of property (GA4) or reporting view (UA) determines the Currency in which all these values are displayed in reports. By default, the global currency type of a property or reporting view is USD. Businesses transacting in a currency other than USD can configure a property or reporting view to use any of the supported currencies in the Property Settings or View Settings page. See [GA4] Currency reference - Analytics Help for more information.

Once configured, log in to the Commerce Lab. From the hamburger menu, select Analytics > Search. The Analytics dashboard page will be displayed as shown below:

Users will be able to access only Customer-facing stores like Ruby and RubyB2B. The Search tool cannot be used with stores like Catalog asset store or Storefront asset store.
Note: The user will only be able to see the selected data after the store's configuration.

Select Store from the list of available stores.

Select Currency from the list of available currencies.

Select a Language from the list of available languages.
Note: The user will get several languages listed only after adding these languages to the selected store. Go to Updating store information. The list of currencies and languages depends upon the selected store.

Select Dates from the calendar. Data will be displayed based on the store's Start Date and End Date.

The data shown on the dashboard is displayed for the selected store. Users can click the Refresh button shown on the top right corner of the page to get the updated data from the store.

Click Hide Filters, and all the filters will disappear from the screen. To See the filters again, click on the Show Filters icon in the top right to see the filters again.
Note: Filters will be hidden by default. Click on the Edit filter to change the values.
