Internal Search Tracking

Internal Search Tracking

The search tracking type is used to capture internal search activity on your website. When a user performs a successful search and is presented with a result page, this command should be pushed to the JENTIS Data Layer.

This tracking helps to:

• Understand user search behavior

• Measure search performance

• Evaluate the quality of search results

Tracking Commands

• product (for each result shown)

• search

• submit

Example

// Product results (example)
_jts.push({
  track: "product",
  type: "search",
  id: "123",
  name: "Ergonomic Chair"
});

_jts.push({
  track: "product",
  type: "search",
  id: "456",
  name: "Executive Leather Chair"
});

// Search metadata
_jts.push({
  track: "search",
  group: "global site search",
  term: "chair",
  countresults: 144,
  source: "headersearch",
  goal: "productlist"
});

// Submit state
_jts.push({ track: "submit" });

Properties for search

Name	Description	Type	Mandatory	Example
group	A meaningful group name for the search context	string	no	"global site search"
term	The search term input by the user	string	yes	"chair"
countresults	Number of results returned by the search	int	no	144
source	Where the search was initiated (e.g., header, sidebar, etc.)	string	no	"headersearch"
goal	The type of content shown on the results page (e.g., productlist, CMS page)	string	no	"productlist"

Product Statement

Every product shown in the search results must be tracked individually using the track: "product" command and tagged with type: "search". This ensures they are correctly associated with the search context.

Example Product

_jts.push({
  track: "product",
  type: "search",
  id: "789",
  name: "Mesh Back Task Chair"
});

Summary

• Track each product result with type: "search"

• Push one search object per search event

• Use submit to finalize the state
