Hello,  
I have an ES that has been running for several years and I would like to know what users are looking for in the search field.  
Is this possible?  
Is there this data in a log file somewhere?  
Thank you in advance.

No it's not. This is something you need to solve yourself on the application layer.  
AppSearch (on premise or on cloud) is providing such information though.

Damn it! I thought these searches could be stored...  
Thank you for the answer.
