WMT showing 50% drop in search query and impression data

[raghavhere]

Hello everyone,

Is this just me or you also noticing huge drop in search query data in webmaster tools.

It is showing 50% drop in impressions & clicks at search queries report. Whereas, my actual traffic is improving. Any idea is this some kind of bug or Google doing some kind of changes.

I can confirm the drop too, across multiple sites. It looks like a glitch.

It's a glitch, the numbers do not add up to Google Analytics.
Also, WMT is stuck on 6 Feb.

Also, WMT is stuck on 6 Feb.

A quick check shows similar reports on Google Product Forums.

If the actual traffic is improving, I wouldn't be concerned.
