I investigate the sensitivity of gravitational-wave searches by analyzing theresponse of matched filters in stationary Gaussian noise. In particular, Ifocus on the ability to analytically model the distribution of observed filterresponses maximized over coalescence phase and/or a template bank as well asthe response of statistics defined for a network of detectors. Semianalyticsensitivity estimates derived assuming stationary Gaussian noise are comparedto sensitivity estimates obtained from real searches processing real noise,which is neither perfectly stationary nor perfectly Gaussian. I find thatsemianalytic estimates are able to reproduce real search sensitivity for theLIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration's third observing run with high fidelity. I alsodiscuss how to select computational speed-ups (hopeless signal-to-noise ratiocuts) and make predictions for the fourth observing run using projecteddetector sensitivities.
