Written by Steve Burge   
AvatarTracking Joomla Searches with Google AnalyticsThis is a great tip from Lowkey over on the Joomla forums. It enables you to track searches made on your site from inside Google Analytics.

  2. Click 'Edit' under Website Profiles for the profile you would like to enable Site Search for.
  3. Click 'Edit' in the top-right corner of the "Main Website Profile Information"
  4. Select "Do Track Site Search".

  6. Select "No, do not strip query parameters out of URL"

Your data will appear in your main Google Analytics report, under the "Content" tab.
