You can review search history reports for the repository.

Procedure

To create and view reports of user search activity:

  1. Log in with administrator permissions.
  2. Click Administration.
  3. In the Repository Statistics sidebar, select the date range for the search report. The range starts with the current date and can span up to 12 months.
  4. Click the Search History link to open the report.
  5. Click Download to download the report to your system
  6. View a report that shows details about the search keywords and tags that users are entering to find assets in the repository.

Results

The "Search Count" column of the report is the number of times the search was performed in the selected time frame. The "Search Views" column is the number of times assets were viewed from the search. This report shows what users are actively looking for in the repository. If the search count is substantially smaller than the search views, users might not be finding what they are looking for in the search. If the search count is substantially larger than the search views, users might be performing searches and not viewing the results. There might have been too many or too few results and none of the top results looked valuable to the user.
