Microsoft Search Server

Question

How do you retrieve the most popular search terms programmatically from Microsoft Search Server.

I have searched and not been able to come up with an answer.

Answer 1

1. You will need to enable search usage reporting.
2. Extracting the popular search terms doesn't look like it's supported OOB. So you can check out this article, or this v1 code on CodePlex to let you do this.
