Simply put if a user searches for anything on my site I want to be able to quantify and analyze it. How can I achieve this?

Hi,
I don't know if this would be overkill but ElasticSearch provides a Slowlog: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-slowlog.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/index-modules-slowlog.html)
You could configure this for your needs(e.g. all queries or only queries slower than X ms) and ingest the logfile into ElasticSearch. Then you can query the data by username and everything.
Best regards
Wolfram
