Description

Hello,

I want to send "search" tracking events from a nodeJS backend.

Using trackBulk, I send events with _id, cdt, e_c, e_a, e_n, e_v successfully (and see them reported in the Matomo web app).

However when sending _id, cdt, search, search_cat, search_count, I see nothing in the "Site search" section of the Matomo web app, whereas site search is enabled for my site.

Am I missing something?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the report with trackBulk using the working event fields, then compare it with the search, search_cat, and search_count payload. Check the Matomo tracking API expectations for site-search parameters and verify the result in the Site search section. Done means search events sent through this Node.js tracker are visible there.
