For my website the (internal) searches count on my website (mainly a specialized search engine) just as normal pageviews. Piwik however counts them separately. How can I tell piwik to sum both counts?

Update 1
After the answer from John Cave, I manually counted the actions in "detailed visitor log" on today:
* 42 "normal" page views (without icon)
* 22 outlinks (with the outlink icon)
* 22 site search (with the loupe icon)

In the "visits over time" chart I hovered over today and got that figures:
* 42 Pageviews
* 22 Outlinks
* 16 Searches

Interesting is also the difference between 22 Searches in "detailed visitor log" and 16 Searches in "visits over time". When I looked closer in the "detailed visitor log", I found, that 3 searches were executed twice. Seems those doesn't count at all.

Update 2
I asked the question in Piwik-Issuetracker now: github.com/piwik/piwik/issues/7136

Are you sure searches are not counted twice? Once by the page view counter, once by the site search system? For my site, Piwik definitely doesn't count everything starting with /search.php any differently to a page view, aside from it recording the search terms.
