# Breaking: #92993 - Generic search statistics from indexed search removed {#breaking-92993}

See [forge#92993](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/92993)

## Description {#description}

When using TYPO3 Cores built-in Frontend Search ("Indexed Search"), search
statistics were written which were never evaluated, but might contain
user-specific information about logged-in users and their previously used sessions,
which might be conflicting with privacy policies.

The IP Address could be masked via Indexed Search Extension Setting
`trackIpInStatistic` which is now removed, along the database table
`index_search_stat`.

TYPO3 also stores statistics on the searched word, which is evaluated
in the TYPO3 Backend, and kept.

## Impact {#impact}

Searching within Indexed Search will only track the searched words, but not
additional meta data anymore.

The database table `index_search_stat` is not available anymore, along with the
Extension setting to disable IP address tracking, as nothing is tracked anymore.

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

TYPO3 installations using Indexed Search and accessing this information.

## Migration {#migration}

It is recommended to use a more generic and sophisticated analytics tool like
Matomo or Google Analytics to track searched terms.
