+========================================================================
+Breaking: #92993 - Generic search statistics from indexed search removed
+========================================================================
+
+See :issue:`92993`
+
+Description
+===========
+
+When using TYPO3 Cores built-in Frontend Search ("Indexed Search"), search
+statistics were written which were never evaluated, but might contain
+user-specific information about logged-in users and their previously used sessions,
+which might be conflicting with privacy policies.
+
+The IP Address could be masked via Indexed Search Extension Setting
+:php:`trackIpInStatistic` which is now removed, along the database table
+:sql:`index_search_stat`.
+
+
+TYPO3 also stores statistics on the searched word, which is evaluated
+in the TYPO3 Backend, and kept.
+
+
+Impact
+======
+
+Searching within Indexed Search will only track the searched words, but not
+additional meta data anymore.
+
+The database table :sql:`index_search_stat` is not available anymore, along with the
+Extension setting to disable IP address tracking, as nothing is tracked anymore.
+
+
+Affected Installations
+======================
+
+TYPO3 installations using Indexed Search and accessing this information.
+
+
+Migration
+=========
+
+It is recommended to use a more generic and sophisticated analytics tool like
+Matomo or Google Analytics to track searched terms.
