Hi All,

I can’t seem to figure out the “query parameters” I need to enter into GA in order to track my wix site search queries. Any help is appreciated?

This is an example of a search performed using my site: /search-results-page/help

Have you seen and read the Wix Support pages for using Google Analytics?

https://support.wix.com/en/marketing-tools-analytics/google-analytics

Plus, have you read Google’s own documents about using Google Analytics too?

You can see an example for using Google Analytics in Wix here.

Plus a YouTube video of connecting Google Analytics to Wix here too.

Yes, I’m not having problems linking my Google Analytics account. That’s working fine.

I want to track the site searches people are making using my “site search” tool within my website. That’s the issue I’m having.

Note that the Wix Site Search is a Wix app and it uses the same functionality as the Site Search as stated in the Google Analytics link I provided before.

However, as this is a Wix app it DOES NOT work with any current code through Corvid.
It will need Wix to open this app up to code eventually and as of yet, we don’t know that time frame.

If you use the Wix Site Search app on your page you will see that after your website page url that it uses the ‘q’ letter for the query as in the Google Analytics page linked above.

Something like this - yourwebsite.com/wix-search-bar/search-results/q=wix

You can find Wix Support pages about the Wix Site Search app here at the end of the More list.

@code-queen has done a great little video about the Wix Site Search app that you can have a look at and get more info from her about it.

Hi, I found this article saying that you should use “S” as query https://www.foregroundweb.com/google-analytics-site-search-tracking/

I was wondering instead what query to use for blog search bar… which acts differently from the general website search bar
