Does the "Top Searched Products" report actually work?

[Eowyn Southmoor]

As the title suggests, does this report work?

I ask because for at least half of last year, when I ran this report, my products always showed zero results. Then at one point it appeared to be functioning normally, and every week the numbers would increase.

However, lately I have noticed that the results seem the same for the past 6 weeks or so, to the point where all new products I've released still come up as 0. Of course it's  a possibility that they haven't returned any search results (thought frankly this is unlikely), but all my older products are showing the same numbers as they did from 6 weeks ago, and well, this seems strange.
