Tiles

Searches with No Clicks

The total number of searches in which user doesn't click on any result. The only scenario in which a no-click search occurs is when a user finds results in response to a query but doesn't click on any result.

A second metric on the tile is Sessions with No Click. It is the total number of sessions in which there was at least one search with no click.

Searches with No Result

The total number of searches for which no result is returned.

A search can be no-result for multiple reasons:

  • Documents with the searched queries do not exist in your data repositories.
  • The searcher does not have the permission to see documents.
  • The search client is not connected with the content source where the documents are stored.

Based on this information, content managers can select the best course of action to plug content gaps: Create new articles or educate users about advanced search.

A second metric on the tile is Sessions with No Result. It is the total number of sessions in which there was at least one search with no result.

Session with Unsuccessful Searches

This counts the number of sessions where at least one unsuccessful search was recorded. Both Searches with No Result and Searches with No Click are Unsuccessful Searches.
