WordPress Dashboard Widget

You can control the dashboard widget with the default screen option of WordPress. The WP Search Insights will show you the Top Searches, and more importantly the top search without result. These search terms should initiate action to write a new blog post, or use a current relevant post to include this term as well.

All Searches

All searches will show all search queries made on your website with the following information:

  • Search term entered by the user
  • Result: does the search term lead to a result on your website?
  • When the search was made, based on your general date settings for WordPress
  • From which page the search was made

You can delete search terms by selecting (multiple) rows and then proceed to click “Delete selected terms”. You can filter your searches by last day, week or month whereby the default is “All searches”. In the search form you can search for specific terms.

Results

  • The percentage of search terms with results.
  • Total results
  • A count of Results/No results
  • The most popular search terms with and without results
