The Queries report is a pre-made detail report that displays search queries and associated Search Console metrics for your linked Search Console property. You can drill deeper into the data by Search Console dimensions (but not by Analytics dimensions). The data can also be found in Search Console.
Search Console keeps data for the last 16 months. As a result, reports in Analytics also include a maximum of 16 months of data.
Search Console data is available in Search Console and in Analytics 48 hours after it is collected by Search Console.

The Search Console collection of reports is unpublished by default. You can find the collection under Library in the left navigation and publish it from there. Learn how to publish a collection.
Data availability
Your Search Console data becomes available in Analytics depending on when you create the web data stream and when you complete site verification in Search Console:
- If you create the web data stream and then complete site verification, data is available from the time of site verification.
- If you complete site verification and then create the web data stream, data is available from the date you create the data stream.
Be sure that your Google Analytics 4 property and your Search Console property are collecting data for the same set of web pages.
The Search Console reports display data from the web data stream you select when you create the link between Search Console and Analytics. If you delete the link and create a new one that uses a different web data stream, then all date ranges for reports will use the web stream you select for the new link.

| Dimension | What it is | How it's populated |

| Country | The country from which user activity originated. For example, if someone visits your website from the United States, the text 'United States' populates the dimension. | This dimension is populated automatically. |
| Device category | The type of device from which user activity originated. Device categories include 'desktop', 'mobile', and 'tablet'. | This dimension is populated automatically. |
