> My Swiftype analytics dashboard displays the number of “clickthroughs” a page has received. What does this mean?

A clickthrough (or click through) is recorded when one of your users does a full-text search and then clicks on one of the search results.

The equivalent of a clickthrough for the Swiftype autocomplete dropdown is called an [autoselect](https://swiftype.com/questions/what-is-an-autoselect).
