Statistics of searched terms on the Request Entry console

Use the SYS:SearchTermStatistics form to view statistics about the searched terms for each company on the Request Entry console. The SYS:SearchTermStatistics form is automatically updated every time a user enters a search term on the Request Entry console.

You must have Action Request System administrator permissions to view this form.

The SYS:SearchTermStatistics form contains the following fields:

Field	Description
Company	The name of the company of the user who used the search term in the search.
Search Term	The text of the search term, for example, request a new laptop. Enter the exact term that you need to search.
Locale	The locale of the user who used the search term. This field's values follow these rules: For every locale (except pt_BR or zh_CN), the value of the field contains only the first two letters of the locale. For example, for de_DE, the value is de. For pt_BR or zh_CN, the value is the same as the locale, for example, pt_BR. A $NULL$ (empty) locale value is allowed and can be used as a fallback mechanism.
Primary tag	The area to which the search term applies; that is, REQUEST_ENTRY_CONSOLE
Secondary tag	A specific description of the area to which the search term applies, for example, SEARCH_FIELD
Total Successful Searches	The number of times the search term returned results for the users at the company
Current Unsuccessful Searches	The current number of times the search term did not return any results for a user. You can reset this field. The Total Unsuccessful Searches field records all of the unsuccessful search attempts. After the search term has been successful the first time, resetting the Current Unsuccessful Searches field raises the search term rank. Resetting the field is helpful when you add a service, for example "replacing a tuner". If users were searching for "replace tuner," but there was no service, the ranking would be low. When you add the "replacing a tuner" service, you would reset the Current Unsuccessful Searches field so that the search term receives a ranking value of 1, and it appears on the suggestion list.
Total Unsuccessful Searches	The total number of times the search term did not return any results for the users at the company
Search Term Ranking	The current search term rank. The higher the rank, statistically the more users will see results when using this search term; hence, the term is more useful. Each unsuccessful search lowers the rank. Each successful search raises the rank. The rank is calculated with the following formula: `Total Successful Searches − Current Unsuccessful Searches` This calculation can be zero, or a negative or positive value. Search terms with a negative or zero value are never displayed in the suggestion list on the Request Entry console.
