Metrics
An effective on-site search implementation provides unique insight into your visitors. By observing what visitors are searching for you can make educated decisions about areas of improvement when it comes to your content.
SearchWP’s Metrics extension collects comprehensive data for on-site search, and provides you with actionable advice about refinements you can make to your content as time goes on.
Installation & Setup
Metrics was built to be a turnkey Extension for SearchWP. Metrics is a standalone WordPress plugin that should be installed and activated alongside SearchWP itself. Once installed and activated, Metrics will immediately begin tracking searches and clicks. Metrics will begin displaying data as soon as enough has been collected.
Metrics were designed to supersede SearchWP’s core statistics. As a result, both the SearchWP Statistics page and Dashboard Widget will no longer display, and counterparts from Metrics will take their place.
Click Tracking
By default, Metrics will automatically track clicks for the Default engine, assuming that your search results template uses The Loop. Any link within The Loop that is generated using get_permalimk() (or variant thereof) will automatically be set up for click tracking. If you’re using a standard search results template you should be all set without needing to make any edits.
