Low Search Query - Possible to Keep Unencrypted?

Dustin Hansen 2 Apr 2013 20:33 question, complete

We are looking to leverage Google Analytics to help us determine the usage of our search tool, which is powered by Low Search. However, because Low Search combines the query and parameters into one long encrypted string, this is difficult. Is there any way to have the search tool NOT encrypt the query? We would want something like:

mysite.com/search?q=MySearchTerm

Is this possible?

    Not yet, but I'm currently working on an update that will allow it.

    If you're using Google Analytics, you can also use the Keywords tag to pass on the keywords to GA. Someone managed to get it working with this code: https://gist.github.com/denvers/2881680 -- You could probably use something similar.

    That's a great workaround that I hadn't thought of. Thanks!
