SearchWP builds a powerful custom index across posts, custom fields, PDFs, and taxonomies, then logs every query users run into wp_swp_log. The default UI shows aggregate analytics, but the underlying index rows and search log entries stay locked behind admin pages and SQL queries. A zero-result query for refund policy that returned nothing yesterday is in the log; finding it requires either the analytics drill-down or a hand-rolled query against the log table.

SleekView reads the same two tables and pivots them into a sortable grid: ID, post ID, engine (default, products, kb), query, hits, index state. The same data SearchWP shows you piece by piece in different screens, displayed as a single dataset. The Index State column is the one that bridges the two tables: a query that returned zero hits against an index entry marked Stale is a different problem than a query that returned zero hits against a properly indexed corpus, and the two need different responses.

The Engine column is what makes this useful at scale. SearchWP supports multiple engines on the same site - default for blog posts, products for WooCommerce, kb for documentation - and each engine indexes different post types with different attribute weights. Comparing performance across engines (running shoes returned 76 in products but should also run against kb) is hard from the analytics dashboard because it groups by engine implicitly. The grid makes the engine a first-class filter, so cross-engine debugging becomes a saved view.

SearchWP's analytics dashboard is good at telling you what people search for. It is less good at telling you what the index looks like for those queries, and the gap matters. A query that gets twenty hits per week with a zero-result rate looks fine in aggregate; the same query against an engine that does not include the right post type is hiding a content gap.

A query that returns plenty of results but ranks the wrong post first looks healthy in the dashboard; the index row tells you the term frequency that produced the ranking. Aggregate analytics are designed to summarise, and summarising is exactly what hides the per-row truth that actually moves the needle on search quality. The teams that get the most out of SearchWP are the ones who can read the underlying index and log together: editors who see the zero-result queries that need new articles, engineers who see the Stale rows that need a rebuild, marketers who see the cross-engine performance that informs which content stack drives conversion.

SleekView gives all three teams the same row-level view of the data SearchWP already collects, in WP Admin where they already work.
