Search JavaScript event

The following are some key things to note about the Search Javascript event:

• This event would trigger right as a person searches or finishes searching on your site.
  • This enables the Search Abandon campaign and is also good text analysis on Users for determining their interests.
• Key differences for this wave:
  • The 'setAction' sets an event of 'search'
  • You are going to grab the value from the search bar and pass it as the 'search_term' as a string.
