My website has lot of search features .
Ex: I can search for all the first names of the people in the organization and fetch their grades.
In Google analytics, how can I track what is the most searched name ? Please help!

This is for a WordPress / WooCommerce setup.
I recently updated my site to Google Analytic 4 and have attempted to setup tracking of search results AND the number of search results per search. I have out-searched Google attempting to find any information on how to set this up...
To be more clear: I have tracking setup to track the search terms users search for and how many times a search term has been searched BUT I'd really like to be able to track how many results are returned when someone searches for something. For example, if someone searches for "Pink Blanket", then I'd like to have a column for Search Results, showing that I have 4 pink blankets for sale on my site.
Why you ask? Let's say over the course of the previous 30 days, I've had 18 searches for "Pinc Blanket" and 32 searches for "Pink Blinket" and 1 search for "Pink Blanke". This would tell me people can't spell correctly and I can use a few of those highly searched terms on my site to return results.
After out-searching Google, I came across this older blog article (https://mixedanalytics.com/blog/number-search-results-google-analytics-gtm/) that does exactly what I want but it's for use with Universal Analytics and not GA4. I tried to set it up for GA4 but no luck as the two versions are quite different. Instead, I reverted back to GA3 / Universal Analytics and attempted the setup but still having issues getting the "Search Results" or the "Avg. Search Results" columns to collect any data:
Does anyone have any idea how to go about doing this?
Ideally, I'd like to get this working with GA4 since Universal Analytics will no longer work come July of 2023.
I feel like this information should be easily obtainable online but perhaps I am not searching for the right answers to my questions.
Good morning,
I am looking to run a report in Google Sheets using the Google Analytics plug-in to return counts of Users for the Pages visited on our site.
Many of our URL's contain query-string data that I would like to strip out when returning the count. It's proving to be more difficult than I had hoped.
In Google Data Studio, I can do this easily by creating a calculated field with a regex-replace function around the page path. But I can't find a way to do this with the Google API plug-in for Google Sheets.
Can anyone help?

Is it possible in the dashboard to report a value which is a custom calculation between fields?
I have an event called "banner_impression" and another one called "banner_click"
I would like to calculate which is the percentage of "banner_click" events over "banner_impression" events.
Any way to report such calculated value in a dashboard?
Nope. Sadly calculated metrics are not a feature in any version of Google Analytics. I hear Adobe Analytics has it, but that's an enterprise-level paid solution.
You'll have to export the data out of Google Analytics, open it in Excel, and then divide your clicks by your impressions to include it in any sort of dashboard. Excel plugins are available that can help with this, and they include Analytics Edge, Next Analytics, and the Napkyn Reporting Manger.
There are also dashboarding applications like Klipfolio and Mixpanel that can allow you to suck in data from various sources (incl. Google Analytics) and present your data in a much more appealing way.
I have come across quite a peculiar issue. In one of my Google Analytics accounts, I have it linked together with two different Adwords account. All good so far.
The issue is that one of the Adwords accounts is in dollars (which cannot be changed), and the other one in my local currency. Looking at my Google Analytics reports, I am currently seeing the Adwords cost as my local currency for both, which is totally wrong.
Let me give an example:
$1 is, let's say, roughly worth 10 in my local currency.
So, given that I spend $150 in my Adwords account, it would show up as 150SEK in my GA-reports (SEK being my local currency). It should in fact be 1500 since the Adwords spend is in dollars, and there is no conversion done between the two systems with a mismatching currency.
Does anyone know how I can see the correct spend inside my Google Analytics account, seeing as the two Adwords accounts are using different currencies; SEK and dollars?
As far as I know, it imports the value only and will show the currency selected in Analytics. The 150 comes from AdWords, SEK is the currency in Analytics, so it'd show 150SEK.
Not many references in other help forums (I was trying to find some discussion that would help confirm my guess :) but I found this little snippet which mentions that the currency and timezone must match.
GA supports multi-currency however it is only for e-commerce metrics. You could upload data using the Cost Data Upload but "This feature is intended for non-Google paid campaigns. To import Google AdWords data, link your Google AdWords and Google Analytics accounts." All in all you cannot have cost data for two currencies in one view, however you could link the one account to a separate view (with the correct currency setting)
In company I am working on a website that presents users' announcements. Announcements can be searched through our internal search engine. SO far we have implemented Googla Analytics API to present our users 'pageViews' information of their announcement, but they also want to know how often their announcement has been shown in search listing (probably to compare with pageviews and later modify some information like title or thumbnail of announcement to gain CTR). How can we collect such data? I obviously tried to google it, but couldn't find any information.
