After this change, users in your organization will be able to continue to find site collection analytics under classic site settings in SharePoint. Tenant administrators will be able to find tenant-wide search analytics across Bing, Office.com, and SharePoint home Microsoft Search entry points under Microsoft Search in the Microsoft admin center. Administrators will no longer be able to view updated tenant-wide search usage reports in the SharePoint Online admin center, when this change is implemented. If you use SharePoint admin center search usage reports and require usage data, you can download historical data for all the 5 reports (top queries, abandoned, queries, no result queries, query volume, and query rule usage) until January 11th, 2021.
