A list of users' search queries that resulted in them going to the Special:Search results page (Community Wishlist/W404)

Description

Some time ago I began working on a wiki.gg wiki and found out they have an extension called SearchDigest developed by Weird Gloop (a wiki hosting company; both companies use modified versions of MediaWiki). It shows the most common recent failed queries along with the number of searches of each query. Here's an example from Balatro Wiki. I found this tool very useful for creating new redirects, new disambiguation, and learning what topics without articles were most sought by users.

MediaWiki doesn't seem to have an equivalent extension and I think it would be very useful for the aforementioned reasons.
