CEDX Search · Platform

Search analytics for the
queries that fail.

Five hundred fifty-eight thousand searches a month in the demo estate, and the console leads with the part most search tools average away: a 9.1% zero-result rate — 51K searches that found nothing — with the failing queries named and the fixes scored.

One support query returns nothing 84.7% of the time, 5,453 times a month. The console does not just count it — the synonym that would fix it is a scored action, waiting to be published.

What it is

Search earns its keep in the tail, not the head.

Every query, scored five ways

The Queries table carries searches, CTR, zero-result rate, conversion, average position and intent on all 320 rows. Sorting by failure is the point: a cycle-count query at 84.7% zero-results and a receipt query at 40.5% are the rows a search team should start its week with.

  • Intent chips: commercial, navigational, support, browse, brand
  • Zero-heavy and no-click filters on the header
  • Thirty-day sparkline on every query

Clicks, checked against the benchmark

The Clicks screen does not celebrate position one at 48% — it prints the expected band, roughly 45–55%, next to it. Click volume by result position (8,332 clicks at positions 2–3) and the no-click queue are on the same screen, so over- and under-performance are both visible.

  • 231K clicks across 312 clicked queries
  • CTR by position against a benchmark overlay

Four indexes, health-scored separately

Catalog at 78, Help Center at 76, Docs at 82, Blog at 80 — each with records, lag, searches, zero-result rate and facet coverage of its own. The worst zero-result rate in the estate, 10.9%, belongs to the help index, which is where users go when something is already wrong.

  • 22,800 records across the four indexes
  • Index lag from 4 seconds to 22
  • AI answers enabled per index, not assumed

01 — Overview

The scoreboard and the fix list together

Index health reads 88, and below the metric cards the console lists what to do next — scored recovery actions: publish a synonym cluster worth +2.2K searches, pin a winner on a head query, ship a boost rule. Impact plus effort, ranked.

  • Recovery upside: 8.1K searches across the top 4 actions
  • Searches by intent, volume-weighted
  • Biggest movers up and down, with deltas

02 — Queries

The long tail, made sortable

Three hundred twenty queries with their full stat line. The head is healthy — a scanner query at 8,420 searches and 45.2% CTR — and the tail is where the work is: support queries with zero-result rates over 40% and average positions past seven.

  • CTR, ZRR, conversion and position on every row
  • Search the query list itself
  • CSV of the filtered view

03 — Clicks

Where the clicks actually land

Five buckets of result positions with the volume in each, and a CTR-by-position chart with its expected band printed. A top hit at 68.9% CTR on a returns query is healthy; the no-click queue next to it is the work.

  • Position 1 takes 48% of all clicks
  • Clicks, searches and CTR per query-top-hit pair
  • No-click queue and top-3 positions as tabs

04 — Indexes

The estate under the search box

Four indexes with independent health scores, lag measurements and sync times — the catalog synced 2 minutes ago, the blog an hour. Facet coverage runs 76% to 94%, and AI answers are on for two indexes, off for two, as a visible per-index choice.

  • 18,420 catalog records, the largest index
  • Searches per index over 30 days
  • Health, lag and ZRR side by side

Who runs it

Three roles close the findability gap.

Roles, not references. We have no named customers yet, so nobody in these photographs is quoted, credited or claimed as one.

Search operations

Owns the zero-result board: 51K failed searches a month, the synonyms and pins that fix them, and the recovery actions ranked by impact.

Merchandising

Owns the head: the 41.4% click-through on commercial queries and the pins and boosts the recovery list keeps scoring.

Support content

Owns the help index — 2,140 articles, a 10.9% zero-result rate, and the gap between what users type and what articles are titled.

How it runs

A query's life, in the order it actually happens.

01

Index

Four indexes sync on their own clocks — catalog 2 minutes ago, blog an hour — with lag measured per index so freshness is a number.

02

Measure

Every query earns its stat line: searches, CTR, zero-result rate, conversion, position, intent.

03

Diagnose

Failures arrive root-caused — a CTR drop traced to a title rewrite that buried the commercial match, not just a downward line.

04

Fix

Synonyms, pins and boost rules ship as scored actions — the A/B typo-tolerance test is already showing +3.4 points of CTR in the alerts.

One record

Search sits on the record
the estate already keeps.

The indexes are built from what the other products hold — findability is a property of the whole estate, not a bolt-on box.

Questions

Before you pilot Search.

Is the software on this page real?

Yes. Every screenshot is a capture of the running build and you can open the same build at /app/search. It runs on demo data, which the page says next to the figures rather than in a footnote.

What is a zero-result rate and why lead with it?

The share of searches that return nothing — 9.1% across the demo estate, 51K searches a month. It is the single most honest search metric: averages look fine while a support query fails 84.7% of the time, which is why the failing queries are named, not smoothed.

How do fixes get prioritised?

The Do this next panel scores recovery actions by impact and effort: a synonym cluster worth +2.2K searches ranks above a pin worth +1.4K. A/B results arrive the same way — typo tolerance is already showing +3.4 points of CTR in the alerts.

What counts as conversion?

Search leading to an order or a ticket, at 4.2% in the demo configuration. It sits next to CTR and position because a clicked result that goes nowhere is a different failure than a query with no results.

Can each index behave differently?

Yes — the four demo indexes carry independent health scores, lag, facet coverage and an AI-answers switch each. The help index's 10.9% zero-result rate is a separate problem from the catalog's 9.1%, and the console treats it that way.

Is Search audited or certified?

No certification has been issued. What we can evidence about hosting, encryption, tenant isolation and production access is written up on the security page.

The console is running. Go and look at it.
