Analytics overview

Algolia offers search analytics to help you understand your users. It shows how well your search meets their expectations. The Algolia extension for Magento Open Source and Adobe Commerce comes with its own Analytics dashboard. This dashboard shows some of this data. To get started, go to Stores > Algolia Search > Analytics Overview.

Filter analytics data

You can filter analytics data by store view, index type, and date range. The index types are limited to products, categories, and pages. By default, Algolia retains the last 90 days of your analytics history. You can extend your analytics retention up to 365 days.

Extended analytics retention is available as an add-on to your pricing plan.

Metrics

The Analytics page provides the following metrics out of the box:

Total searches	How many searches were performed. As-you-type searches are aggregated. For example, if a user searches for “iPad”, the queries `i`, `iP`, `iPa`, and `iPad` count as one search
Users	How many unique users performed a search
No results rate	Percentage of searches that returned 0 results. The lower, the better
Daily searches	A bar chart displaying the number of searches per day in the selected date range. You can reveal more daily statistics by hovering over each bar
Popular searches	Which searches are performed most often
Popular results	Results that are displayed most often in the results after a search
