Google Analytics Site Search Config Questions

We have site search set up on our site, with the correct query parameter, however, we are not seeing site search data. See the image here for how our config is set up.

The URL for our search page looks like this https://www.premierinc.com/?s=Example.

We know there has been search traffic. Internal users (myself included) have performed a number of searches. The tag has been live for over a week, so processing delay shouldn't be an issue.

I've also triple checked that I'm on the correct view in GA.

Any ideas?

So it turns out that GA favors the document path (dp) parameter over the document location (dl) parameter. So although the search term was in the payload sent to GA, it was promptly ignored when it got there :)

Moral, if you use dp, you probably need to use dq as well.

(Thanks to Kim Towne on the GA forums for helping me figure this one out).
