# Azure Search Service Queries

When Azure Search Services are running normally, you can generally expect a somewhat steady average number of search queries per second. Blue Matador can determine when this is not the case by watching the **SearchQueriesPerSecond** metric, and creates events when the number of search queries per second is anomalous.

In general, anomalous search queries per second are not a cause for concern and are mostly useful for correlation with other issues in your infrastructure. Anomalous number of search queries can occur for any of the following reasons:

- Increased traffic to a service that utilizes search services. 
- Misbehaving search service client code.

If you determine that the difference in the number of search queries is significant, look into your services that utilize Azure search services.
