Independence index is always a "?"


**Description of the issue: Independence index is always a “?”

**Operating System: Windows 10 (64-bit)

To whom it may concern,

For all my searches, the independence index always shows a “?”. I see others have a percentage. The picture is a sample. Is it a problem?

Hey @jeeaik @artvds2708 !

This just means you have not done enough searches to make the calculation for the independence metric :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi Porridge,

Thank you for your answer. I am aware that it says not enough searches are done as it says when I move my cursor over it. However, I have used the search for 2 weeks.

I am wondering if there is any setting needs to be enabled, for example, enabling cookies/do not delete cookies after using browser, etc.

If you are deleting your cookies / cache, Search will not be able to give you a value for that metric.
