### Dark Mode

This UI features a dark mode switch. We used dark mode in the screenshots of this documentation. You can turn it on/off by clicking the *Sun/Moon icon* in the top right corner of the screen. The dark/light mode is memorized, it is retained even after the browser is refreshed.

### Realtime Statistics

Click on the Realtime tab to access the realtime statistics. Two graphs should be displayed, one showing the latest search volume in the past 60 minutes, the other the search volume in the past 24 hours.

Under the graphs a table is displayed with the latest 20 searches. The realtime stats upgrade every 5 seconds (adjustable under the Settings panel).

### Search Volume

The search volume displays the total number of searches per day and it can be accessed under the *Searches -> Volume* tab.

Above the bar chart there is a period (date) selection as well as a switch to turn on/off the comparision to the previous period.

Under the graph you can adjust various criteria via filters, such as the phrase, device, type, status, user interaction etc..

The popular searches view can be accessed under the *Searches -> Popular* tab. By default it displays the most popular phrases for the given period.

Similary to the *Volume* tab, there is a date, comparision and filter area. There is also a *Field* selector before the datepicker, where you can adjust the main popularity criteria.

### All Searches Browser

Clicking on *Searches -> All Searches* tab will display all searches for the given period. This view lets you browser all searches for the given period filtered by various criteria.

Aside from the date selector and the filters there is an ordering option available to change the default ordering (by date descending).

### Popular Results

The popular results view can be accessed under the *Results -> Popular* tab. By default it displays the most popular searches for the given period by views.

Aside from the date range and filters the popularity criteria can be adjusted. The option is before the date picker and has two possible values:

* *Views* - sorts the results by views. A view is when a result was displayed in a live result container or on the result page.
* *Interactions* - sorts the results by interactions. An interaction is a click on a result in a live result container or on the results page.
