Search Impact (alpha) in +Google Webmasters Tools seems to be providing more data than regular search query reports. Truth? Or just my imagination? cc: +John Mueller +Dan Petrovic

Depends on what you mean with "more" -- it's not the same, at least :)Feb 22, 2015
I was thinking that as soon as I completed typing :) I'll work on a more articulate way of communicating what I mean. Thanks for stopping by.Feb 22, 2015
Is there a "Search Impact (alpha)" office hours?Feb 22, 2015
Nothing planned just yet -- but if you're getting confused, make sure you let us know on the feedback form. We shouldn't have to do hangouts to explain it, it should be clear enough on its own :). Which parts are you getting stuck on?Feb 23, 2015
Less "stuck," more interested in understanding why there are seeming discrepancies w "old" search query report data. Admittedly, might be me.Feb 23, 2015
The biggest difference that threw me off was that impressions looks at the site, not at the URLs. So if you have a query where we show 3 URLs from your site, the old one counted that as 3 impressions, while the new one shows just 1 impression (which I think makes more sense).Feb 23, 2015
Agreed. In any event, it's a really great addition. Thank you. My dream: regional filtering. Big for SMBs.Feb 23, 2015
