Any query returning nbHits:0, will appear in your Searches Without Results analytics, regardless of whether it results in a redirect or not. If you'd like these queries to be excluded from your analytics, you will need to apply the analytics:false parameter at query time.
If you wish to exclude all empty queries from your analytics, you can create custom logic and set analytics:false when the query is empty.
In the case of redirects, if you would like to only remove those queries from Searches Without Results, there are a few possible approaches:
- For redirects created in the Visual Editor: Create a placeholder product and pin it in every redirect rule so it would retrieve one result and would get out of the list of Searches without Results .
-
For redirects created in the Manual Editor: Add a query parameter
analytics:falsein the rule consequences for so this query will be ignored by analytics
