    <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I guess there is not "the one and only" solution &lt;IMG src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png" /&gt; what helps me a lot is thinking about the "tables"/"visualizations" I want to create and then look what data I need to get there. everything mainly depends how important the search is ...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;searches&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;since the main goal is to report the search term and the according number of results (per category), I would use the following data&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;eVar1 - search term&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;listProp1 (traffic variable with list support, not listVar) - name and number per category ( eg. "websites:32,places:4")&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;event1 - total search results&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;event 2&amp;amp;3 - search results per category (if you really need them)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;event4 - search counter (one per search)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;using this setup allows a lot of reporting like what search terms (eVar) had what results (events) and averages (calc metrics on events). you can even break down by category. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;results&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;focus on the result item and think of sending all information in a single eVar (or 2) and then use "classification" to get single items out.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi everyone.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;How do I measure and report this efficiently?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;My client has developed a search engine that multiple sets of results, i.e. "Places" and "Websites". (I'll just call them result groups.)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So a search for "doctor" could return:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;UL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Websites: 32 results&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Places: 4 results.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Each result, regardless of group, has a title and a topic. "Places" also have a region.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;She wants to know:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;For any given search term, how many results do people get—both in total and in each group?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Which results do people click on?&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So far, it's no problem to just create group-specific eVars, e.g.:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Search Term&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Number of Website Results&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Number of Place Results&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Website Name&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Website Topic&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Place Name&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Place Topic&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Place Location&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In this case, event "Search" would be reported using eVar1–3. Event "Result Click" would be reported using either eVar4–5 or eVar6–8,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;But my client may want to expand the search engine with more groups, such as "Videos" or "Products", so I'd like to avoid filling up Analytics with very similar eVars.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So another solution could be using eVars like:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;OL&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Search Term&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Result Group&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Number of Results&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Result Name&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Result Topic&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;LI&gt;Result Region&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/OL&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In this case, "Search" would be reported using eVar1–3. Event "Result Click" would be reported using eVar2,4–6.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;In this case I'm also nto sure if it's possible to record total number of search results in a single beacon...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;What would you do? &lt;IMG src="https://experienceleaguecommunities.adobe.com/legacyfs/online/emoticons/happy.png" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
