I notice the Ajax search doesnt show a query parameter in the results after you search. It seems to only use parameters after you click.
I would like to use a query parameter in the URL after you search so I can track the site search with Google Analytics.
Any Suggestions?
I can track searches made by GET requests,
$_GET[’AS_search’]
...url?
AS_search=Something
In GA I just set: AS_search
But yes AjaxSearch forms just uses POST.
I have used a very different approach but
<form id="ajaxSearch_form" action="search-results.html?AS_search" method="post">
Maybe is simple enough.
Does this mean I can not achieve it using AjaxSearch?
Or is using Get requests a config option of Ajax search?
I just edited my comment above. When trying it takes hour for it to show up in GA.
So for testing one could set up a snippet on the result page to see if that makes it store in
GET too. Have no time now to test!
I get the Gist of what you are doing here,
But where in the Ajax searc can I change <form id="ajaxSearch_form" action="search-results.html?AS_search" method="post">
Is it in the snippet or one of the templates?

Depends on what template you use... so why not change them all!
THIS WORKS BTW!

I’m sorry for misleading you guys!! 
This worked for me ONLY because I was using a plugin (404)...
Now I’m trying this:
[[getsearch]]:
<?php
$getsearch = '?AS_search='.$_POST['search'];
return $getsearch;
?>
In form:
<form [+as.formId+] action="[+as.formAction+][[getsearch]]" method="post">
IT DOESNT WORK YET!
No snippet is needed this do the same thing:
<form [+as.formId+] action="[+as.formAction+]?AS_search=[+as.inputValue+]" method="post">
It only works if the form gets re-submited...
Once again sorry...
BUT I can use searched as GA parameter because I use the higligther plugin.
That way I can get stats of what results got clicked on at least...
But CLicked on is not so good. Doesnt really let Google Analytics handle the data the way it should.
There should be a really easy solution to get that parameter pass the first time the search happend.
Anyone?
