Our search engine is designed to accept queries (or “search operations”) at each keystroke. In order to have relevant analytics data, we aggregate the series of keystrokes to keep only the latest (final) query made by the end user.
In the dashboard Overview, search operations and queries refer to the unaggregated search API calls made to the engine, while searches in the analytics dashboard are the aggregated search queries processed by the analytics. For example, if the users type “key”, it will perform 3 search operations or queries “k”, “ke”, and “key”, but we’ll only use “key” as a search in the analytics.
