When creating Funnels, do the Path Pattern and Path Regex filters include the query parameters?

I’m trying to search for the value of a query parameter and I’m not getting any hits.

Here is an example URL:

[www.example.com/page?key1=value1&key2=value2](http://www.example.com/page?key1=value1&key2=value2)

I would like to filter by value2 but the following don’t work:

Path Pattern - is - value2  
Path Pattern - is - **value2**  
Path Regex - is - value2  
Path Regex - is - /value2/  
Path Regex - is - /value2/g

It would be a nice feature if you could select key/value pairs for query parameters like you can for the Tags and Event Meta filters.

Hi Timothy,

Query parameters are stripped from the path to preserve privacy and stay compliant with GDPR, as they often contain sensitive data.

You can attach meta data via tags to do something similar:

This requires adding them manually to each page they are relevant on.

Ah, didn’t realize that was a privacy and GDPR issue, but that makes sense.

Thanks!
