cannot filter by parameterized URL

    Hi, folks –

    Many of the URLs on my website have the usual parameterized format, i.e., www.mydomain.com/page.aspx?id=12345.

    However, I cannot seem to filter anywhere (either inline in the Top Content report, or using Request URI as the filter field in a Search and Replace profile-level filter) based on full URL.

    For example, if I filter Top Content by Containing {filtervalue} for a given month, the results might look something like the following:

    Filter by page.aspx returns 9,030 pageviews
    Filter by id=12345 returns 1,288 pageviews
    Filter by page.aspx?id=12345 returns 0 pageviews

    However, page.aspx?id=12345 is clearly listed in both of the first two examples as having many pageviews. I just can’t seem to filter correctly by the full string directly.

    This wouldn’t be such a problem if id=12345 was contained in only a single URL, but I have other path/filename combinations on the site that also use id=12345.

    This seems like pretty basic functionality, so I’m a little puzzled. Any help is appreciated.

    Best,
