Search analytics show what customers searched for in an environment, how often searches came back empty, and how fast Medusa Search responded. Use them to find the terms that return nothing, spot the terms that drive the most traffic, and check that search latency stays within your targets. Medusa collects analytics per index and per environment, so a preview environment's numbers never mix with production's. *** ## View Search Analytics To view the search analytics of an environment: 1. If you're in a different organization, [switch to the organization](../../organizations/page.mdx#switch-organization). 2. Click **Projects** in the sidebar and select the project that contains the environment you want to view. 3. In the project's dashboard, click on the name of the environment. For example, "Production". 4. Click **Search** in the sidebar under the environment's section. You can see under the **Search analytics** section the performance and usage metrics for each index in the selected environment. ### Plan Availability Item counts and index sizes shown in the [Overview](#search-overview) section are available on all Cloud plans. The rest of the metrics on this page, including the chart, the search speed cards, and the term tables, are available for Scale and Enterprise plans. If your plan doesn't include them, the section shows a prompt to change your plan instead. Refer to the [Plans & Pricing](../../pricing/page.mdx) guide for what each plan includes, and to the [Manage Plans](../../billing/plans/page.mdx#change-plan) guide to change your organization's plan. *** ## Choose an Index and Time Range Every card in the **Search analytics** section reports on one index over one time range. Two selectors at the top of the section control both: - The **index selector** chooses the index, such as `products`. An index that Medusa is currently rebuilding shows an **Updating** badge next to its name, so its item count and index size change while the [reindex](../page.mdx#reindex-on-medusa-search) runs. - The **time range selector** chooses the window that the metrics cover, such as **Last hour**. The ranges you can choose from depend on your organization's plan. Click the button next to the selectors to load the latest values. *** ## Search Overview The **Overview** card under the **Search analytics** section shows the headline numbers for the selected index and time range. |Metric|Description| |---|---| |Items in index|The number of records the index currently holds. It reflects the index as it is now, not the selected time range.| |Index size|The storage that the index currently occupies.| |Searches|The number of searches that ran against the index in the selected time range.| |Vector searches|How many of those searches ranked hits with an embedding. Refer to the | |Keyword searches with no results|The percentage of keyword searches that returned zero hits.| `Searches` counts the searches Medusa Search served, which isn't the same as the search requests your organization is billed for. Writes to an index count toward your allowance too. Refer to [How Medusa Search Counts Search Requests](../page.mdx#how-medusa-search-counts-search-requests) for more details. *** ## Searches Over Time The **Searches over time** chart plots the searches that ran against the index over the selected time range, split into three series: - **Free-text searches**: keyword searches. - **Vector searches**: searches that rank hits with an embedding. Refer to the [Semantic Search](../semantic-search/page.mdx) guide for more details. - **No results**: searches that returned zero hits. Use it to compare how much traffic each search type serves, and to tie a spike to the moment it started, such as a deployment that changed an index definition or a campaign that sent customers looking for a product you don't carry. Click the button on the card to view the chart in a larger dialog. *** ## Search Speed Two cards report how long Medusa Search took to respond, in milliseconds: - **Free-text search speed** covers keyword searches. - **Vector search speed** covers searches that rank hits with an embedding. Each card shows the **Median**, **p95**, **p99**, and **Average** response times. The percentiles matter more than the average: `p95` is the time that 95% of searches stayed under, so it tells you what your slowest customers experienced. Vector searches are slower than free-text searches by nature, since they compare embeddings. The times measure how long Medusa Search spent on the search. They don't include the time your Medusa application or storefront spent on the rest of the request. *** ## Most Searched Terms The **Most searched terms** table lists the terms customers searched for the most in the selected time range, with the number of searches for each term. Use it to find the products, categories, or brands that deserve a place in your navigation, and to check that your top terms return the results you expect. *** ## Searches with No Results The **Searches with no results** table lists the terms that returned zero hits, with the number of searches for each term. Each of these terms is a customer who found nothing. Depending on the term, you can act on it in different ways: - The term names a product you don't sell, which makes it a demand signal for your merchandising team. - The term is a synonym or a misspelling of a product you do sell, so make the term searchable by adding it to the [index definition's fields](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/infrastructure-modules/search/index-definitions/fields), or enable [typo tolerance](../settings/page.mdx) on the field it should match. - The term is a natural-language phrase that keyword search can't match, so [semantic search](../semantic-search/page.mdx) can find hits for it. The **Most searched terms** and **Searches with no results** tables only cover keyword searches. If the index served no keyword searches in the selected time range, each table shows an empty state instead of terms. *** ## Most Common Vector Terms The **Most common vector terms** table lists the terms that customers searched for the most with [semantic search](../semantic-search/page.mdx) in the selected time range, with the number of searches for each term. Use it to see the natural-language phrases that keyword search can't match, and to decide which of them deserve their own fields or synonyms in the [index definition](https://docs.medusajs.com/resources/infrastructure-modules/search/index-definitions). --- The best way to deploy Medusa is through Medusa Cloud where you get autoscaling production infrastructure fine tuned for Medusa.
