Contextual search report
**Note:** When users select the **Search on tab** check box in the Search Context \[csc\_context\_config\] table and then modify and leave the search field, an action gets logged in the Relevant Document Detail table \[cxs\_rel\_doc\_detail\]. The information in the table can help you find the instances where users ran a search but did not take any action. In those cases, the value of the **Position** column is **-1**.
