: Custom report for tracking webiste search within specific page I've got a search page in my website: www.example.com/?page=search. It presents an HTML form with method="get" for searching the site

I've got a search page in my website: example.com/?page=search. It presents an HTML form with method="get" for searching the site so a search for "test" will result in url: example.com/?page=search&q=test There is also pagination so I end up with the following content pages tracked in analytics:
example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=2 www.example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=3 example.com/?page=search&q=foobar&page=4 www.example.com/?page=search&q=test example.com/?page=search&q=test&page=2 www.example.com/?page=search&q=test&page=3
etc...


How is it possible to get a report for the search terms of "page=search"?
Should I do it via the event tracking API or is there a configuration only way via Google Analytics? Maybe a custom report?

thanks

If you have Google Analytics on your website it can give you the things that people are searching for. On the site configuration you fill in the "Query Parameter (required)" field with the URL parameter which comes just before the word that people are searching for. In your case it's "q".
