  2. Right-click the Enterprise Vault server that hosts the Indexing service and select Properties.
  3. On the Advanced tab, select Search Log Queries and click Modify.
  4. In the drop-down menu, select On, and click OK.
  5. Select Search Logs Folder and click Modify.
  6. Enter a path to a local folder on the Index server, and click OK.

  9. Perform searches using any Search application.

 

Navigate to the local path as set in Step 5 to review the log files generated. Two log files are generated for each search query in a XML format,
  1. A file beginning with ‘squery’ contains the search query for 32-bit index volumes
  2. A file beginning with ‘velreq’ contains the search request for 64-bit index volumes  
To turn Search Query Logging off follow the steps at the top of this article and select OFF in step 4.
