Hey thanks for sharing this.

I've seen some differences with the names of the columns on my end. For instance in table: search_top_results, I have the following columns:

  • Date
  • result_count
  • result_title
  • descriptor
  • date

@jvdc Thanks for catching that! You're absolutely right, and we appreciate the heads-up.

We’ve updated the documentation to fix that error. Appreciate the help

Thanks for the update ​@Aleksandra 

I find the table that includes the countries quite limited. I would be interested in seeing the searched terms by countries. Is this something that could be added?

Hey ​@Aleksandra some other feedback:

 

I find a bit incoherent how these 2 tables are named , as I would expect to see similar columns:

  • search_top_results → shows the hits (search results), no searched terms
  • search_top_results_with_no_click → shows the searched terms, no hits

Seing how they are named I would have expected to see search results in both, no?

 

Finally, I would be interested to see per searched terms which search result (hit) was clicked the most...

Finally, would it be possible describe the different elements that show up in the descriptor column?

  • live
  • instand-search
  • destination
  • related
  • instant-search OR live
  • control
