In a search-as-you-type experience, Algolia can receive a search query for each keystroke. For example, typing key can result in queries for k, ke, and key.
For Analytics, these queries are aggregated so that they represent the user's search intent rather than each individual request. Queries are aggregated based on factors including edit distance, user identity, and whether they occur within 30 seconds. In this example above, Analytics would normally count key as one search.
You can review your usage in the Algolia dashboard and view search analytics in the Analytics dashboard.
