SearchMiner

Description

SearchMiner is a passive observer for your site search. It records what
visitors search for, flags every search that returned zero results and shows
searches where visitors got results but clicked nothing — the quiet revenue
leak most sites never measure.

It does not replace your search. Keep the search you already have (native
WordPress search, WooCommerce product search) — SearchMiner simply tells you
what it is missing.

Highlights:

• Top searches, top zero-result searches and top “searched but clicked nothing” queries
• Searches per day chart with the zero-result share highlighted
• WooCommerce aware: product searches are marked separately
• Dashboard widget: the zero-result searches your visitors made most
• Privacy first: no IP addresses, no user accounts stored; automatic retention
  (30–365 days); one-click erase of all recorded searches
• Bots and crawlers are filtered out, so numbers mean people
• No data leaves your server

How it works

When a visitor loads a search results page, SearchMiner records the phrase
and the number of results. If result tracking is enabled, a tiny script on
the results page sends one beacon when the visitor clicks a result — or one
beacon when they leave without clicking anything. That is all.

Limitations (honest list)

• Searches served entirely from a full-page cache bypass PHP and are not recorded
• AJAX search widgets (third-party) are not recorded in this version
• The plugin counts behaviour; it cannot tell you visitor intent

Pro Version

Pro adds automation, reports and integrations on top of the free version

External Services

This plugin can send notifications ONLY to the service you configure in its
own settings. It never contacts yodsira.com servers.

— Telegram notifications —
* What the service is: Telegram Bot API (api.telegram.org), used to deliver
instant alerts to your own bot and chat.
* What data is sent and when: a short alert text with your site name and the
event details – sent only when the monitored event fires or when you press
the test button in settings.
* Opt-in: the feature is fully disabled until you enter your own bot token
and chat id; clearing them switches it off.
* Terms: https://telegram.org/tos
* Privacy: https://telegram.org/privacy
