magento 2 Get Top Search Terms

Question

Is there a way to get the 5 tops search terms like in the Dashboard as array without having to query database->table directly sorting them popularity limit 5?

Answer 1

Found a way using Magento\Search\Model\ResourceModel\Query\CollectionFactory

...
$searchCollection =  $this->_queryCollectionFactory->create()
   ->setPopularQueryFilter($this->_storeManager->getStore()->getId())
   ->setPageSize(5)
   ->load()
   ->getItems();

    foreach($searchCollection as $k=>$v) {
        echo $vv->getQueryText().', ';
    }
       ...
