```auto
val searchscenario = scenario("Search Request")
  .exec(http("Select criteria")
    .get("/"))
     .pause(2)

```

```auto
  .exec(http("Search")
    .get("/computers?f=macbook"))
     .pause(2)
  .exec(http("Select")
    .get("/computers/6"))
     .pause(3)

```

As you can see in the above example, I am just making three request but when I see this in report it comes out like :

```

```auto

```

```auto
> request count 4 (OK=4 KO=0 )
> min response time 111 (OK=111 KO=- )
> max response time 217 (OK=217 KO=- )
> mean response time 138 (OK=138 KO=- )
> std deviation 45 (OK=45 KO=- )
> response time 50th percentile 113 (OK=113 KO=- )
> response time 75th percentile 139 (OK=139 KO=- )
> response time 95th percentile 201 (OK=201 KO=- )
> response time 99th percentile 214 (OK=214 KO=- )
> mean requests/sec 0.5 (OK=0.5 KO=- )

```

```auto

```

```auto

```

```auto
Shows 4 requests. Why so?

Have you checked the list of request types? Answer is pretty obvious.

You answered your own question here. The “Select criteria” page is issuing a 302 redirect, and that is being followed by Gatling and logged as a transaction.
