Hi Bill,
You can take a look at Sematext's search analytics
(https://sematext.com/search-analytics). It provides some of metrics you
mentioned, plus some additional (top queries, CTR, click stats, paging
stats etc.). In combination with Sematext's performance metrics
(https://sematext.com/spm) you can have full picture of your search
infrastructure.
Regards,
Emir

How do others look at search metrics?
1. Search conversion? Do you look at searches and if the user does not
click on a result, and reruns the search that would be a failure?
2. How to measure auto complete success metrics?
3. Facets/filters could be considered negative, since we did not find the
results that the user wanted, and now they are filtering - who to measure?
4. One easy metric is searches with 0 results. We could auto expand the geo
distance or ask the user "did you mean" ?
5. Another easy one would be tech performance: "time it takes in seconds to
get a result".
6. How to measure fuzzy? How do you know you need more synonyms? How to
measure?
7. How many searches it takes before the user clicks on a result?
Other ideas? Is there a video or presentation on search metrics that would
be useful?
