(not provided) Google searches

So far I have been using Google Analytics and was content with it, but Google no longer provides keywords for users who are signed in. Instead of the searched keyword you see (not provided) in your Analytics account.

I would like to know if Clicky tracks keywords for Google users who are logged in?

Nop, they can't.

Does Clicky show (not provided) keywords so we can see how many of our site's searches are affected by this Google change?

We don't, although I am seriously considering adding this because we get a lot of support questions from people asking why some visitor's search string is blank. So we'll probably change it to the same as google, (Not provided)

This is total BS on the part of Google! What gives.. this makes me genuinely angry. That is the reason I signed up for Clicky was to get more complete data. @Your Friendly Clicky Admin do you guys actually have access to this data...please explain more

I hope you guys, at least add (not provided) or something similar... too bad you guys don't have this data though

Just updated it so it will start logging the search as [unknown] if it's blank.
