Search terms in Umbraco engage

I’ve inherited a site, that has umbraco engage, an we can’t see any search terms in the analtics.

Beyond setting the internalsitesearch to true and a q as the querystring search term. do i need to specify do anything else to be seeing search terms

the only thing that might be an issue is there is ajavascript submit function..

Hi @ravimotha,

In order for engage to track the site search, a pageview has to be made (GET request) that includes the q={QUERY} string parameter. Other methods of search, including javascript based requests that do not cause a page refresh and simply update the page and/or url, will not work.

Hope this clarifies things!

Just making sure so even if it the javascript passes off to results page via a get request it won’t be able to record the search terms ..?

That would depend on the logic of the javascript! Is the javascript actively fetching a valid page, or is it only making an XHR request to an API endpoint to fetch the data? If you could share me some more details on your search implemenation, it would make it easier to determine why it is or isn’t working.

i’ll have a dig down and get you what i can .. cheers and thanks regardless
