Is it possible to get which are the most common phrases and/or terms?

Thanks in advance.

I don't mean a single query. I mean if there is a way to know (with  
Elasticsearch) which are the most common terms on a particular index  
so that I can store for example the searches user perform and know  
which are the most common.

There is no such feature in elasticsearch out of the box. But as Peter  
pointed out, it is not hard to implement this feature by recording user  
queries and then you can use for example faceted search to get the most  
frequent queries or terms.

John,

Have a look at Sematext Search Analytics service - it's currently  
completely free:

[Cloud Monitoring Tools & Services | Sematext](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html)

This will give you a bunch of reports about what's going on with your  
search, ability to slice and dice the data, see graphs of various  
search behaviour metrics over time, pie charts, top N style reports,  
etc.

Hey Otis,

Yes, Sematext Search Analytics is search-platform independent, so yes,  
if your search is powered by Elasticsearch, you can see all the same  
reports as people using Solr or FAST or Endeca or ....

Give it a try, it's completely free for now: [Cloud Monitoring Tools & Services | Sematext](http://sematext.com/search-analytics/index.html)

All feedback appreciated!

Otis

Hi guys,

how it's possible to "register the user queries"? By percolate mechanism?
