What counts as a work search for weekly certification? after 18 years as a line cook

I am keeping a spreadsheet of applications, but I worry it is not what the agency expects. Any experience at all would help. I also did a résumé workshop at the library. What do you record?

I record the date, the company, the job title, how I applied and any contact name. It takes a minute each and it covered me when I was asked for proof.
