Magento 2 is not showing Popular Search Terms

[addison74]

I am using Magento 2.1.8 with sample pack.

I did a lot of searches for "radiant" word. Now for this word:

• Number of results = 5
• Number of uses = 11
• Display in Suggested Terms = Yes

Let's visit Popular Search Terms section in Frontend (path is search/term/popular/). Magento 2 is not showing any word, it is a empty content page. Normally the word "radiant" should be listed.

Thank you for your report. It looks like reproducible, but I am not sure.
Please use the issue reporting guidelines to report an issue. Include the steps required to reproduce, the actual result, and the expected result.

On the Admin sidebar, tap Marketing. Then under SEO & Search, choose Search Terms.
Please, add the screenshot of this page. I could not found in documentation the minimum amount of search attempts that is needed for the expected result. I am ready to mark it as 'bug report' assuming that this functionality adds search terms from the first search attempt.

Here is the screenshot you asked for:

Radiant word produces 5 results. The number of uses should qualify this word for appearing in Popular Search Terms page. Checking it in Magento 1, the same results produce the expected feature. As you may see Suggested Terms is set to yes.

Popular Search Terms page must be checked with Varnish and without for getting the right behavior after it is fixed.

It's a bug in Magento 2.1.x
You can fix this issue with editing two files.
Magento/Search/Block/Term.php:
from
94. $temp[$term->getName()] = $term;
to
94. $temp[$term->getData('query_text')] = $term;

from
95. $termKeys[] = $term->getName();
to
95. $termKeys[] = $term->getData('query_text');
from
127. $url->setQueryParam('q', $obj->getName());
to
127. $url->setQueryParam('q', $obj->getData('query_text'));

Magento/Search/view/frontend/templates/term.phtml:
from
16. escapeHtml($_term->getName()) ?>
to
16. escapeHtml($_term->getData('query_text')) ?>

Edit:
It seems to be fixed in dev branch:
