The Search Log Analyzer GUI
Through using Search Log Analyzer it is possible to analyze the launched searches and hereby it enables the user to utilize the TAS Enterprise Search more effectively.
Search Log Analyzer gives the opportunity to examine the top searches, the frequent searches with no results, positive and negative trends or to compare the top searches in a given period, therefore the user can get a deeper insight in search trends.
The user friendly UI provides the user many possibilities: sorting by date, number of searches or visualize the results or comparisons.
The dashboard indicates what and how the users search in TAS Enterprise Search UI. It shows the followings:
- search expressions: list of expressions searches launched with
- number of searches in (reference) date range: list of expressions are in descending order by number of searches
- filtering options: Date range, Number of hits or searches, Users (order of results are configurable). There will be an extra filter if you also have a Thesaurus Manager license. The Thesaurus filters default value is All, so all the expressions are listed. The other options are Thesaurus (the expressions which are in the Thesaurus Manager) and Non-Thesaurus (the expressions which are not in the Thesaurus Manager). There is a Thesaurus Manager project chooser field, and if there is a Thesaurus license for the realm a Thesaurus Manager project and a Search Log analyzer project can be joint here by choosing the Thesaurus Manager project.
Explanations
- summary of searches by users and query types: the summary tables appeared above the list of searches indicate the number of searches launched by users and also the number of simple and advanced searches in the given date range.
- top searches: the list of expressions are in descending order by number of searches (in the last 30 days). The list shows the expression and the number of searches for expression.
- frequent searches with no result: the list of expressions which has 0 search results are in descending order by number of searches (in the last 30 days). The list shows the expression and the number of searches for expression.
- positive and negative search trends: in the Trends the base of the comparison is the last 30 days, and the 30 days before. In case of positive trends the expressions are listed in descending order by percent of change. In case of negative trends the expressions are listed in ascending order by percent of change. The list shows the expression and the percent of change for expression. The sign of the values are are not displayed as a minus/plus sign but with down/up arrows and colors. The biggest value is the biggest positive value and the smallest value is the biggest negative value. If the system does not have 60 days history, the history should be split into 2 pieces, and it should be compared. If the number of searches was 0 in the Reference date range, then we show “X new searches” instead of % value in the “Change” column (since % of change can not be calculated in this case).
- the comparison of top searches: comparison of the Top 5 searches in “Top searches” box. Static graph with 30 days of data with one day resolution.
