Google Analytics Site Search Settings (Search Query) OC 2.3.0.2

I've gone through the OC forum and it seems no one has had luck in finding the search query to put into analytics to track search terms.
Anyone know?

When I search my site I get:
https://www.___________.com/index.php?route=product/search&search=PRODUCTNAME&description=true

Based on that, what would be the search query to enter in analytics?
I'm trying 2 at the moment:
search&search=
filter_name

Rather using the SEO links would be more ideal in this case since the store wouldn't have to specifically focus on either the product name and / or the product description in the URL.

Straightlight, I have no idea what you are talking about and it's off topic.
Thank you for replying but your reply has nothing to do with my question.

Yes, you have no idea what I am talking about and you believe to be off topic. You are mentioning it is off-topic but you have no idea what I am talking about. Understood.

The parameter is the part after the & sign and before the = sign. So in your url example, the search query parameter is: search

If you wanted to add the filter parameter, you'd put: search, filter_name

Google will look for those parameters and pull the data after the = sign for your reports

I'm confused, you sort of answered but not completely.

So are you saying the parameter is search=, filter_name
