Then search for q= to see if it is coming through. It should be since the utm.gif request was being sent to google for the results page. If that doesn't help, try posting on http://groups.google.com/group/analytics-help A lot more people will see it there and maybe someone will catch something that I missed.

I doubt it's because of i changed something in the iframe searchbox code, I wanted to take off the ugly search button, is that a problem? Thanks John,

If the site is maxmsp.recorderz.org then it looks like the view of the results page is being correctly submitted to Google. My best guess is to check in the Google Analytics reporting interface, under the "edit" for the profile and make sure Site Search is turned on, and the query parameter is set to "q". Sorry if that is not much help, John The name of the page should not matter.

The Google CSE works well, but I can't get the result in GA. I am sure the query term is correct. Does it matter to the search result landing page, which on my site is index.php instead of search.php? thanks Hello, i’ve pasted all the iframe codes in my wordpress based site.

As along as you select display the results in an iframe, it should not matter that it searches a different site. Make sure you have the Google Analytics Tracking Code on the results page, however.

I have a search engine that is on my site. It searches different site (excluding my own site). I want to be able to see what my users are searching for. I still don’t get this.
