I would like to report site searches to Google Analytics. The Google Analytics module tracks site search with the core search module but it doesn't work with Fuzzy Search. What needs to change to make it work or is it something that needs to happen in the Google Analytics module? I believe the code in Google Analytics responsible for tracking site search is on lines 138-140 in googleanalytics.module

if (module_exists('search') && variable_get('googleanalytics_site_search', FALSE) && arg(0) == 'search' && $keys = search_get_keys()) {
      $url_custom = '(window.googleanalytics_search_results) ? ' . drupal_to_js(url('search/'. arg(1), array('query' => 'search='. drupal_urlencode($keys)))) . ' : ' . drupal_to_js(url('search/'. arg(1), array('query' => 'search=no-results:'. drupal_urlencode($keys) .'&cat=no-results')));
    }

There is also a section on the Google Analytics module settings page to add custom js code. Maybe a custom snippet can be added to enable Fuzzy Search tracking?

It's a good idea. I can try to look at this but I'm very busy for the next few months. I doubt that the ga module would include it. It's probably best to work it in to fuzzysearch or try the custom js.

I encourage you to work on it and provide a patch.

Thanks

Did someone fix this problem in the last 19 months?
I can't seem to track my site searches with Google Analytics with whatever kind of queryparameter I try.
