Site Search: make "Search categories" report multi level (eg. when using a slash in the site search category) #9440

We use an AfterSearchNavigation, a segmented search or an After Search Filter - so people can narrow down their searches by attributes, price range etc.

It would be helpful, to present search categories as folded tree similar to page titles (using the same delimiter).

Track like this

_paq.push(['trackSiteSearch','Search Term',"Search Term/Category/Filter by brand/Filter by attribute/Filter by price",655]);

and display it as tree:

+ Search Term
|-+ Category
| |-+ Filter by brand
|   |-+ Filter by attribute
|     |-- Filter by price
|-+ Different Filter
  |-+ Filter by color
    |-+ Filter by size

The search term should come first so it's not getting too fractured with entry points of the filters. This this could also be an enhancement of the search term table itself.

Best, Marcus

This would be pretty useful especially since many ecommerce websites/shops work like that :+1:
