Why are search clicks missing from my Meilisearch analytics?

The Meilisearch help pages give 4 common reasons. The first to rule out: Clicks show in analytics only when your website or app is set up to report them to Meilisearch, so a change to that code can make clicks fall away.

What causes it?

  1. Clicks show in analytics only when your website or app is set up to report them to Meilisearch, so a change to that code can make clicks fall away.

    In the Meilisearch help: You must configure your application to submit click events to Meilisearch if you want to track it in the analytics interface. Analytics metrics reference, read 2026-11-12.

  2. A click reported without the search's query ID cannot be tied to that search, which can lower click-through figures.

    In the Meilisearch help: Without it, Meilisearch cannot associate the click with a specific search query. Track click events, read 2026-11-12.

  3. If click events are held back and reported in batches or late, the analytics can be less accurate.

    In the Meilisearch help: Batching click events or sending them with a delay reduces the accuracy of your analytics. Track click events, read 2026-11-12.

  4. How far back analytics go depends on the account, so older days can drop out of view.

How do I check it myself?

  2. If older days look empty, check how long your account keeps analytics data, or ask Meilisearch support.

How does Meilisearch work with Feder?

  • Connect Meilisearch to Feder and it joins your Visits apps.
  • When you connect Meilisearch, Feder checks the connection straight away and shows Connected only when that check passes. If a reading cannot be taken later, Feder shows it as not read, never as zero.

Some numbers are too quiet to judge daily, such as a form filled in a few times a week. Until there is enough of your own history to judge a change, Feder says it is still learning and scores nothing, rather than guessing.

See whether you can trust the numbers in Meilisearch, one of your Visits apps. Feder only reads. It never changes anything in Meilisearch.
