In order for your visitors' Confluence search queries to appear in your Google Analytics Console, you'll have to perform the following settings in your Google Analytics Admin Console:


  • In GA4, site search is automatically tracked as view_search_results event. To see the search term and the category parameters in your reports, you have to create custom dimensions for them (See https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10075209?hl=en). Create a custom dimension for each parameter:

Event parameter: searchTerm

Event parameter: text_ancestor

Event parameter: text_contributors

Event parameter: text_labels

Event parameter: text_spaces

Event parameter: text_type


You can see the site search events with the categories in the realtime view, but in your event report you can see a "not set" value during the first 48 hours after its creation.
