AEM with Search

[jamesm77050123]

I'm working on a search functionality in AME 6.2 and I'm wondering, is there anyway to track what a user searches for in AEM? We don't have AEM Anayltics, we want to be able to know what things are commonly searched for, time searched, platform e.g. mobile or desktop and user location. Is there anyway of tracking this?

Hi,

You can create a custom solution to track search statics.

For example, you can create a node in AEM to save all search related details. For each search you can create a node.

and at the EOD you can pull those details in JSON/XML/Database and delete those node to free up some space. But if you are planning to implement something like above for more than one instance architecture then you can directly save data on centralise location/database or sync between instance.

The idea is here to create custom solution if you don't have analytics implemented.

Thanks

Arun
