Short answer

How can I monitor my search engine performance using AI?

Your agent pulls click logs and usage metrics directly from Elastic to analyze how users interact with your search results. You get a clear view of search health and engagement patterns through simple natural language queries. This breakdown shows you how to get those insights.

Search insights

Where your data lands

The AI processes your search data to surface these specific outcomes.

HEALTH

Identify search failures

The AI scans logs to find broken queries or empty results. You'll see exactly where the search experience is failing users.

BEHAVIOR

Track user patterns

Your agent analyzes click logs to show what users actually find useful. This reveals which results get ignored and which ones get clicked.

AUDIT

Inventory search engines

The AI lists your active engines to ensure you're monitoring the right datasets. This keeps your performance tracking organized.

HUMAN

Refine search logic

The AI flags problematic trends, but you decide how to adjust your ranking algorithms or indexing strategy. You retain full control over the search engine configuration.

The workflow

What your AI does when the data arrives.
