This is the query that can give that information but there is a huge gap in this method, as some (or I must say most) of searches don’t even specify index/sourcetypes.
index=_audit action=search search=* sourcetype=audittrail | rex field=search "sourcetype\s*=\s*\"*(?<SourcetypeUsed>[^\s\"]+)" | rex field=search "index\s*=\s*\"*(?<IndexUsed>[^\s\"]+)" | search IndexUsed=* OR SourcetypeUsed=* | fillnull value="NA" IndexUsed SourcetypeUsed| stats count values(search) by IndexUsed SourcetypeUsed

Number in the count represents number of searches execution which are using that index/sourcetype. I believe a user field is also there so throwing a dc(user) in the stats will give the count of users.
