    This tells you what people type into the search box in your site.. you need to add some code for this to work.

    You need to add the query parameter from your URL into the Google Analytics settings. If the URL after a search looks like this:

    http//www.mydomain.com/?search=cars

    Then you add 'search' in the query parameter field and then click Save Changes.

    However, you have to install site search box in your site before tracking in analytics.
