Segment or calculated metric matching one eVar value to another

Scenario: eVar1 captures the Search Term, eVar2 captures the Product name displayed following the search.

How can we identify the Products displayed where they the Product Name matched the preceding Search Term?

But in general - for segments or calculated metrics the available functions all relate to static values. Is it possible to compare the eVars?

Thank you

Now it's clearer. If this seems to be an important scenario for your team, you may want to consider the implementation enhancement by enriching the online data with offline data (read about data sources and transaction ID). As an outcome, you will be able to run a report in AA that will show you online and offline orders. Together with the segment (those who viewed a product but did not purchase) this should help recognise if significant amount of orders followed onsite search happen offline.

Does it help?

That's it for now, validating a hypothesis.

Sorry, it does not explain the scenario. What hypothesis do you consider?

Whether there is a significant number of visitors who use the site to view the product then place their orders offline. If yes, cluster by visitors and/or by products to see the patterns, re-evaluate internal processes.

Thanks Andrey, it would seem you were right the first time - there is no solution for my specific request.
