XF 1.1 Tagging search queries?

[Nudaii]

- When a user performs a search, the search results page should display a parameter 'fs=' followed by the search term
- The URL should also include a parameter and value 'cat=forumsearch'

example
domain/forum/search.php?searchid=1157421&fs=searchterm&cat=forumsearch

There is search information in the URL already. For example:

http://xenforo.com/community/search/2191090/?q=test&t=post&o=date&g=1&c[node]=5+45

Or you can submit a new search with this URL (the URL which generated the above results):

http://xenforo.com/community/search..._discussion=1&order=date&nodes[]=5&nodes[]=45

The search parameters are in the URL. Is that what you want?

I was asked by a coworker, its something to do with google analytics it seems, they advised us to add in an fs=(searchword) and a value of forum search to track what people are searching for

would this be possible?

 

[Jake Bunce]

The search term is already in the URL (q=test in the above example).

I question the need to add a specific parameter to the URL for analytics purposes. The URL can be identified as a search URL by the search route that is already present in the URL.
