Hi all In a certain implementation for doc lookup, we're using typesense. In this implementation, the query_by option in the query is based on the value selected in a dropdown. Suppose we want to track popularity of each query_by option using typesense analytics, what is the best way to go about it ? It doesn't look like the OOB analytics rule types can be used.

You could set up a counter rule and manually send an event through the API, when the search occurs (either

onBlur

on the Input element,

onChange

on the select element, pass it in the callback)

I'll give it a shot.

Here's some docs on counter rules: https://typesense.org/docs/28.0/api/analytics-query-suggestions.html#counting-events-for-popularity

Worked for me. Another question about this.... What is the ideal analytics flush interval ? what does it depend on ?

Since you're sending out events manually and using a counter rule, the flush interval here doesn't play a role. It has to do with auto-aggregation (popular queries/no-hit queries)
