To help jump-start your year and make metrics for your site more actionable, we've updated one of the most popular features in Webmaster Tools: data in the search queries feature will no longer be rounded / bucketed. This change will become visible over the next few days.
The search queries feature gives insights into the searches that have at least one page from your website shown in the search results. It collects these "impressions" together with the times when users visited your site—the "clicks"—and displays these for the last 90 days.
Before and after:
We hope this makes it easier for you to see the finer details of how users are finding your website, and when they're clicking through. Should you have any questions, you can visit our help forum.
