Several days ago, I just following the instructions at
http://www.slideshare.net/pandyajigar/how-to-see-the-full-referring-url-in-google-analytics-by-jigar-pandya
to add a filter in order to get the full referrer path in Google analytics report.
Now I still cannot figure out how to see the full referrer, I go to "Standard Report", then "Conversions", then "Ecommerce", then "Transactions", I can see the transaction report, then in "Secondardy dimension: Referral Path", I can see the referrer path but it is still relative, like this:

I cannot find a way to see the full referrer yet.

The referrer is the webpage that sends visitors to your site using a link. In other words, it's the webpage that a person was on right before they landed on your page. Referrer URLs are logged by many web analytics programs including Google Analytics.
Referrals in Google Analytics show you sites that “referred” visitors to your site by clicking a link. This category excludes advertising visits, as well as organic search, in most cases. To view Referrals, go to Acquisition > All Traffic > Referrals.
I am pretty sure the referral path and source are always separated in google analytics, so getting a single field with the full URL is not something you will find (at least without doing some additional work). The fact that you are now getting the full referral path (Which is what I think you are saying) means you could make a custom report with...
In a nutshell, Referrer is a GTM variable that returns a URL of the previous page that a visitor visited. So, for example, if I am browsing the site and go from example.com/page1 to example.com/page2, the value of the Referrer will be example.com/page1 (because that is the value of the previous page’s URL).
Does this work for a referral from Google itself? You used to see query terms from google in the referrer (and still can with Bing/Internet Explorer combination) but newer browsers hide the query for privacy reasons. Queries in GA are disconnected from the later user flow. Ideally, would want to look for conversion.
You need to select Secondary Dimension > Behavior > Full Referrer or select the alphabetical listing and navigate straight to it. That will provide a report column with the full referrer URLs. You can make this more convenient by constructing a custom report if you need to access this data frequently. Show activity on this post.

Source,Referral PathMetric:
Visits
Then export to csv and merge these two columns in excel / other spreadsheet software.
This is if I correctly understand your request...
