# Statistics using Matomo {#matomo}

If you use Matomo on your website, you can use it to generate a report for search queries:

1.  Activate site search

    In Matomo go to **Administration** \> **Measurables** \> **Manage** and select
    the according website. Select the option `Site Search tracking enabled` of the **Site Search** field:

    You can disable the option **Use default Site Search parameters** (as these are not used) and enter
    the value `tx_kesearch_pi1[sword]` into the field **Query parameter**.
1.  Display site search metrics

    Go to **Behaviour** \> **Site Search**.

> It is also possible to add more information to Matomo like keywords with no results or the query time.
