Swetrix should analyze search terms

[joepio]

Currently only the first page open is counted. Should check out the swetrix SDK

[joepio]

can't see an option to do this, I asked the swetrix team (see above)

[joepio]

They fixed it in 2.4.0

We now have full search queries but bad UX

[joepio]

Swetrix can also log other events, like so:

swetrix.track({ ev: 'SEARCH', meta: { url: window.location } })

I'm not quite sure whether this means I should just create regular JS events and name these "SEARCH" or whether I should call .track every time it happens?

Hey, sorry for the UX, because we added the search params recently there was not really a need to decode the URL params before. We will fix this tomorrow so it won't be a problem on our side anymore.

EDIT: That issue has been fixed.

You call .track() each time you want to submit a custom event. A custom event can have some metadata appended to it which may be accessed in dashboard.
I.e. in the dashboard under 'Custom events' panel you will see a list of custom events (e.g. SEARCH, SIGNUP, etc.).

If you click on the expanding arrows button located on the top-right corner of that tab, a modal window with a list of events will open.
It looks like that: https://twitter.com/swetrix/status/1713023603409608781

In that window you will be able to see metadata per event, including the conversion of that specific metadata to a total number of unique visitors.

At the moment, we do not support (in other words - filtering) segmentation based on custom event metadata, but this is something that will be added this week.

So maybe for your specific use case it should be good to consider using metadata enriched custom events.

This is next level awesome customer support. You're actually reading my issues in my repo and building the feature I need? Whoa
