I am a newbie. I am setting up my google analytics account. It is asking for search query for my website. can anyone help to find search query for http://dashcamsonly.com.au , or guide me how to find it ?
Your search query is q.
I got his by doing a search on your website for blah - http://dashcamsonly.com.au/catalogsearch/result/?q=blah
*Note the ?q=. Where q is your search query parameter.
See Google's documentation: Identifying Search Query Parameters for your Site and Set up and configure Site Search

I'm new to Python and need some help. I'm trying to search for historical tweets from 2014 to 2018 from specific Twitter users with specific keywords in a research project and have a few questions for my code.
I can't find a code on how to get the output as a number of tweets instead of a long list of many tweets. Is this possible?
Does anyone know how to connect the endpoint from Twitter Developer to the code? I will use a Premium API account.
I'm getting an Error on the code because of the functions: from and filter, is there a way to fix this? I tried to insert it in the same " " as the query, but that didn't work.
#Endpoint from Twitter Developer
endpoint = 'https://api.twitter.com/1.1/tweets/search/30day/dev.json'
#All keywords
query = 'xxxx' or 'yyyy'
#Search code
search = tweepy.Cursor(api.search, q = query, "from:TwitterUser -filter:retweets", lang = 'en').items()
for item in search:
print (item.text)
And as an additional question not related to my code, is it possible to search for retweets and likes by specific users on certain tweets? Lets say I'm searching for tweets from user1, can I then see how many times user2, user3 and user4 have retweeted and liked user1's tweets?
Thanks for any help!
Cheers
I don't believe that tweepy currently provides support for the premium search endpoints (additionally, I see that your code is hitting a 30 day endpoint, when for your use case you would need to access the full archive search endpoint).
For premium search I would recommend that you look at either TwitterAPI, or the search-tweets-python library that we (Twitter) provide. In the case of the latter, it also supports the counts endpoint, but be aware that these are only available in the paid tier, not the free sandbox. Also, note that the search syntax on the premium search API is different to standard search. Check the documentation.
On your last question unrelated to code - no, there's no API that would enable you to find that information.
I'm working on tracks search and I found that in-app search performs spellchecking of query. For example for query 'seaman rammstein' result will be 1 song Seemann by Rammstein, but search via API(https://api.spotify.com/v1/search) has no items.
And I wonder what method or params are used in application search?
Thank you for your help in advance!
you're correct that the Search API doesn't do what we call "fuzzy matching". There is an open issue on the Web API issue tracker that you can follow here.
I'm curious on how Mixpanel tracks which Search Keywords an event is affiliated with. Is this from the organic search (vs. paid search ads)?
If yes, how did they do it? From a glance, I guess organic search works this way:
That link goes to a proxy link with some query parameters which contain info about the (encrypted) search term & the real destination link.
Redirect to the real destination link.
Google Analytics know the organic search keyword used on a session because they intercept it in the middle point. I'm not sure if there's any way for someone outside of Google to intercept that info (including Mixpanel). Right? (correct me if I'm wrong)
If there is a way for the destination website to know the organic search keyword, can I be enlightened on the method?
I don't think this is coming from organic search or paid ads due to a couple reasons:
Most of the organic traffic is now in HTTPS which makes it hard to get the search parameters. Google Analytics shows this data through the Webmaster Tools console which is able to grab keyword data in a different way (I assume through the Google backend and not the URL itself). Otherwise, you are stuck with the "Not Provided" issue in Google Analytics.
Mixpanel only captures the default UTM parameters: utm_campaign, utm_source, utm_keyword, utm_medium and utm_content. Mixpanel also calls this properties as expected: UTM Medium, UTM Source, etc.
I can't tell from your screenshot but it seems this might be a custom property that your Mixpanel setup is setting it, perhaps from an internal search engine? Or perhaps you're grabbing a custom URL query?
Can you provide more information as to how this event is being captured?
I am facing a problem while developing an app, where I need to display search engine results directly on my app page without directing to www.google.com.
This is how it looks, in the search box I'll enter the RSS feed site name, and now I want to get the google search result on my app page so that I can easily extract RSS feed website and perform the operation I was intended to do.
I am intending only to get RSS feeds from the site just by typing sitename.
Thank you!

Almost working..,

Check under 2. A Better Approach
I didn't try it out practically and am not sure whether its deprecated by this time or not.
I've noticed that a lot of the time when i search something on Google, Google automatically uses the search function of relevant websites and return the result of the website search as if it was just another URL.
How do i let Google and other search engines know what is the search box on my own website and does Open Search has anything to do with it?
do you maybe mean the site search function via the google chrome omnibar?
to get there you just need to have a
form with method type GET
input type text element
submit button
on the root page of your domain
if users go directly to your root page and search something there, google learns of this form and adds it to the search engines accessible via the omnibar (the google chrome address bar).
did you mean this?
Google doesn't use anyones search forms - it just finds a link to search results, you need to
Use GET for your search parameters to make this possible
Create links to common/useful search results pages
Make sure google finds those links
Google makes it look like just another URL because that is exactly what it is.
Most of the time though Google will do a better job than your search engine so actually doing this could lower the quality of results from your site...
I don't think it does. It's impossible to spider sites in real time.
It's just a SEO technique some sites use to improve their ranking by spamming Google with fake results. They feed the Google bot with an endless stream of links to bogus pages:
