Hi Emil,

No, Marvel does not track search requests. It does not receive them, so it cannot track them.

Currently there are really only two ways to manage this functionality:

1. Manually index the search request alongside the search (or asynchronously in bulk).
  - This is a very common solution.

2. Enable the slow search logs with a time of `0` to log every single request.
  - This is not a good way to do it because each shard-level search will be logged, and you still need to index this into Elasticsearch.

You could then create a Kibana dashboard to visualize that history.
