Is there any way, either exists right now in the core or via this

are searched for but not
exists on a specific wiki?
I'm adding Dan who maybe can answer if we have some way to do that.
However I am pretty sure that we can't (without NDA) get all queries
because that might contain personally identifiable information. But maybe
the top 100 or something similar?
Thanks for forwarding!
Access to search queries is a long standing request; we track this in T8373
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T8373>. In a nutshell, since search
queries contain arbitrary, free-form text input from users, search queries
could potentially contain personally identifiable information and are
therefore subject to the privacy policy
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Privacy_policy>; this heavily
restricts our ability to release the data. As you can see in the task,
there are ways that this can be mitigated so that we could release some of
this data, but Discovery cannot prioritise working on this right now.
Thanks,
Dan
