Direct answer
Internal search is primarily a customer tool and a first-party demand signal. Analyze what people seek, whether results satisfy them, and which controlled owner should respond — synonyms, catalog fixes, filters, navigation labels, content, a support answer or an intentional 'not offered' response. Do not make every search-result URL indexable, and keep search and facet URL space finite.
Key takeaways
For each normalized query record frequency, market/language, zero/poor-result rate, refinements, exits/conversions, intended entity/task, catalog availability, privacy sensitivity, proposed action, URL owner and outcome.
Actions may include synonyms, spelling handling, catalog fixes, filters, navigation labels, product/category content, support answers or an intentional 'not offered' response. A frequently searched term does not automatically deserve a new landing page.
Google warns that faceted navigation can generate near-infinite URLs and waste crawling resources; its guidance describes preventing crawling or managing crawlable parameters consistently.

Exclude queries containing personal data or sensitive support details from routine editorial exports. Define retention and access controls with privacy owners.
'Waterproof trail shoe' produces results but users immediately refine by width. The action may be better filter labels and attribute data, not a new keyword page.
