Query summary reports

By default, sending reports with query summaries are disabled.

To turn on query report notifications, set the following in your results page configuration:

analytics.email.addresses: A comma-separated list of email addresses to which the email reports will be sent.
analytics.email.from: (optional) Set this to an email address that you wish to be shown as the sender.
analytics.email.frequency: Determines how often email reports are sent. Acceptable values are: never, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly.

The counts you see in the emailed reports may differ slightly from what you see when viewing data in the administration dashboard due to differences in the reporting time periods and how the reports are generated. See: Search analytics email report counts don’t match administration dashboard counts
