Abstract: When analyzing operation of an online system, such as an online concierge system, that receive queries from users and return results in response to those queries, queries received by the online system may include different numbers of terms. The variations in numbers of terms included in different queries makes it difficult to efficiently group queries for analysis, resulting in inefficient analysis of individual queries when analyzing different queries based on their structure. To more efficiently analyze different queries, the online system groups queries based on a number of terms in the query. In some embodiments, queries are grouped based on a logarithmic scale of the number of terms in the query, while in other embodiments queries are grouped based on a square root of the number of terms in the query.
