Integrate reactive search with google analytics

[thatbudakguy]

we need to find the best way to inform google analytics that the user is manipulating the form and requesting new results, since the reactive search uses history.pushState() which doesn't currently count as a "pageview".

it looks like the simplest way might be:

ga('set', 'page', '/new-page-url');
ga('send', 'pageview');

but maybe there are other best practices in use for SPAs, etc.

it would be nice to also configure a global exception handler!

We want to check if this issue can be solved by the newest version of Google Analytics -- we prefer it to be a configuration in Google rather than a change in our code if possible.

It should be if you turn on "enhanced measurement":

page_view
each time the page loads or the browser history state is changed by the active site
This event is collected automatically. You cannot turn off collection.
An advanced setting on this option controls whether the event is sent based on browser-history events. This measurement option listens for pushState, popState, and replaceState.

We turned it on!
