Properly anonymized of course. I think it would be useful for finding
missing articles and redirects to create. There would be a lot of crap of
course, but probably also very useful information on what people have
trouble finding.
We used to have that. I don't remember why it was turned off -
probably too many results.
We used to do it, and the plan was to make it public, however, there are
privacy issues apparently and no-one knows if we can or cannot publish
them, and in what format etc.. So since it was filling up the disk and
was not used, I have disabled it until a solution and storage space is
found.
