How to see search history for all app users?

Question

Case:

We as administrators want to see search history for all users, to improve search process.

Possible resolution (?):

1) DB query if confluence somewhere store search phrases for user search,

2) Some plugins?

To be honest in my option the first option will be the best. But I have now lack of knowledge about tables if they are any with that history. Maybe is it possible to turn on some extra logging level to see search query phrases from users? Or creating a groovy trigger to achieve that?

Any help will be beneficial. Thnx in advance.

We use the Viewtracker plugin, which outputs statistics about search terms in a defined period. (The earliest time is the date of installation of the plugin).

It's possible that there are plugins that fulfill your requirement in a more targeted way - the main task of Viewtracker is to count visits, edits and interactions.

Kind regards,

Confluence doesn't store or log searches, so there's no way to do this.
