Google Analytics: Site Search

Mag

What do your Site Search URLs look like?

Site Search: Option 1
http://www.example.com/search?q=analytics
http://www.example.com/index.php?id=search&term=analytics
http://www.example.com/search.asp?search_term=analytics&id=ac9024

Site Search: Option 2
http://www.example.com/index/search/analytics
http://www.example.com/search.php/keyword/analytics/id946
http://www.example.com/searchterm/analytics

Site Search: Option 3
If the resulting URL does not contain the keyword you searched for then you will either need to modify your search form or modify your Google Analytics Tracking Code to create a virtual pageview.

For example you search for 'analytics' and the URL of your search results page looks like:
http://www.example.com/search
http://www.example.com/index.php?id=search
http://www.example.com/search-results.asp
