Using evars and props to capture Internal Search terms

[Magus_Boston]

I am using prop and evar to capture internal search terms. But when I am testing it out in the dev environment..

i) Page views (76 page views) in prop report is way too less than evar (12,519) report. Why is this happening?

ii) The total of Visits (1039), Pageviews (74) and Unique visitors (377) is far greater than the sum of all populated records in the prop report i.e when I sum visits the total is 58, Pageviews is 74 and Unique visitors is 47. 

But  when I check the evar report for internal search terms.. there is a 'None' row which has all 99 percent of values which is not listed in the prop report?

Can anyone please help to understand this?
