Search & Discovery doesn't add predictive search in search performance reports

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

Issue: After implementing Shopify’s Search & Discovery, searches completed via predictive search (typeahead suggestions) are not appearing in the app’s search performance reports.

Impact: User interactions that end at the predictive results (without submitting a full search) seem untracked, leading to incomplete search metrics and visibility.

Request: A method or workaround to register/log predictive search queries so they surface in the Search & Discovery performance reports (e.g., configuration changes, analytics events, or API-based tracking).

Status: No answers or confirmed solution yet; the question remains open with the key uncertainty being whether predictive search interactions can be captured by the app’s reporting.

Hi! We’ve been having an issue with a Search & Discovery implementation we did on a store.

We expected the search results to appear in the reports of the app, where it tells you a couple of things about search performance, but because the implementation relays heavily on the predictive search, it seems that the app doesn’t track the searchs that are fulfilled with just the predictive search results.

Is there a way to register predictive search queries so we can see them in the search performance reports?

Thanks in advance!
