I found the solution, at least I think I did.

In the advanced_search_result.php I inserted this code:

pageTracker._trackPageview(‘/site search/&keywords=%searchterm’)

I hope this helps people who had/having the same problem.

Hi,

I have had this configured for a number of days, and I have received zero searches on my website. Which is impossible as I have had friends do searches on my site.

I have no idea why this is not working.

You don’t need to put osCsid or any other param in GA. Just put “keywords” in GA account in field “Query Parameter (required):”. The keywords is without quotes.

When you enter osCsid in field it will track each url and give you results as osCsid value, which is not needed.

Please try to configure once again and check next day.

As well my search results can contain “?osCsid=alpha-numeric characters&keywords=”

Obviously without the quotes. So is it because the ? is prior to the osCsid that the keywords are not tracked?

I wonder

I have this configured exactly the way it is above here. I cannot get the search results to return. Conversely when I enter osCsid as the query paramerter I get results. This is puzzling.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The only difference I have is I have selected the option:

Yes, strip query parameters out of URL
