Hi, Can anyone pls tell me how to get the usage analytics for find an item search box in a list. I know that Serach usage analytics is available for search box but in my case I need it for a specific list's search box analytics. Example: search words used for searching in that ist and its count Thanks in advance

Hi Everyone, I myself found a custom way finally as I couldn't get the OOB answer. Get the value of the 'Find an item' textbox and save it in a custom list with the value and the account name.So now you can have your own analytics for 'Find an item'. setTimeout(function (){ $("#inplaceSearchDiv_WPQ2_lsinput").keypress(function(e) { //check whether enter key is pressed if(e.which == 13) this.val(); }); }, 1000); Don't forget to add the time out function in your load function, as SP does something behind, it is tough to get the value without using timeout function.

You cant access this detail unless you have a custom component reading and storing this for you.

Here, I have mentioned how to get the search usage anaytics report https://www.c-sharpcorner.com/article/track-users-interest-in-sharepoint/ You can apply the filter on the downloaded excel to get data for specific list.

You have to custom implement this functionality as SP doesnt have user specific search suggestions.
