1.3.3.4. Search requests -- Analysis

Via statistic type Search requests, you have various possibilities to analyze search requests on your portal. The most extensive possibilities are provided by an analysis in tabular form. Some often used analysis types are available in chart form.

  1. Under Type, select Search requests.

  2. The remaining settings under Interval and Catalogs please perform as already described underSection 1.3.3.1, “Basic settings (Generation Statistic)”.

  3. When all settings are made, click on Search or Extended search.

    [Tip]Tip

    Choose Extended search, when you want to use filters. (The display of filtered content is faster than the display of all datasets.)

    Following filters are available:

    • Portal: On which portal the search had been performed?

    • Language: In which language the search has been performed?

    • Type: Which search mode had been used for a certain search request?

      • Assistant: Search happened via an Assistant.

      • Classification: Search happened via classification.

      • Full text: The search used a search term.

      • Geo project: The search used a certain catalog project as reference.

      • Geo sample: The search used an uploaded STL part.

      • Sketch: The search used a sketch self-drawn by the user.

      • Top download statistics:

      • Variables: The search used variable values such as part number or length for example.

    • Hit count: What is the number of hit counts concerning a certain term, a certain variable?

      It could be interesting for which search terms there was no hit (Hit count < 1) or which terms had been used very often.[9]

  4. Once the desired filters are set, click on Select.

    -> The search starts and the results are displayed.

    1. Chart:

      Example Search requests per day

      Search requests per month

      Search requests per month

    2. Table: In the result field of each column header you can filter, meaning you can search for certain string or substrings.

      Example of table

      Example of table

      The table contains the following columns:

      • Date:

      • Catalog:

      • Type:

        • Assistant

        • Classification

        • Full-text search

        • Geo project: Project file

        • Geo sample: Uploaded STL file

        • Sketch: Self drawn or uploaded sketch

        • Top download statistics

        • Variables: Variable search

      • Language: You can filter a certain language, for example just to display terms of a certain language in the column Details.

      • Portal: If you have more portals, then you can filter here.

      • User: Filter the users' email address.

        [Note]Note

        You can also search for substrings of email addresses such as "@company.com" for example. Placeholders are not needed.

      • Accuracy: Only concerns geometric search methods

      • Hit count: Number of hits with a respective search term, search part, sketch, etc.

      • Elapsed time:

      • Details: At a Full-text search the search term is displayed here, at a Variables search the search term as well, like "IDNR=12345" for example, at Geo project the path to the search part.

      • Actions: Display of the link Details.

        At Sketch search and Geo sample search the link Export data is displayed in addition. By clicking on the link, you can export the sketches in image format or the 3D search part as STL file.

        Save as template: You can save the settings for an analysis as a template (see Section 1.3.4, “Working with templates ”).

        Export: You can export the table in CSV file format.(see Section 1.3.5, “Export statistic”).
