Creating a Search App
Site Search > Profile Selector > Search App menu > +Create
A SearchStax Site Search solution Search App summarizes popular queries and critical metrics such as click-through rate, average click position, mean reciprocal rank, and frequency of no-results searches.

Create a Search App
- Open the list of Search Apps in the Profile Selector. Click the + Create button.
- This opens a screen for configuring the new App.
- App Name: The name must be at least six alphanumeric characters. Underbar (_) is allowed, but other special characters are not.
- Region: Select a region near your location.
- Environment: These labels help you differentiate among multiple Apps. They do not limit App behavior in any way.
- Platform: The options are Sitecore, Drupal, and Custom.
- Version: The final selection list offers Sitecore and Drupal versions. For a Custom App, no version is offered.
- Click the Create button to initiate the App. This step needs a few minutes to complete.
Note that a new Search App is simply an empty database. To be useful, it must record user actions from your company website over a significant period (days, weeks). There is a one-hour delay before the first recorded data appears in Site Search.
