Firebase Search event Term not showing in analytics

Question

I report a Search event and add the search query to the bundle. In Firebase, only the event is shown. I can see the stat on the search event log, but I can't see the value of the Term that were searched. From what I understand, the Term param is supported by Firebase.

Here is my code:

            Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
            bundle.putString(FirebaseAnalytics.Param.SEARCH_TERM, query);
            mFirebaseAnalytics.logEvent(FirebaseAnalytics.Event.SEARCH, bundle);

What should I do to get the search term to appear in `Firebase?

You can use custom definitions to solve this problem.

Here's how

1. Go to firebase console
2. Then select the custom definition from the left panel
3. click on "create custom dimension" at the top right
4. Then enter the details as shown in this photo

After entering detail give it some time and then make a search event from your app.

now go to the events tab -> select search event -> and you will see your search term with the count in a separate card.
