Currently, I'm trying to create a segment filter called "Only Search Page" which filters out one particular server from a list of several thousand. Currently, I'm a little stuck and it might be easier to explain with screenshots.
In the Segment Manager I set up a segment to check for equality(inside RED box), when I do this, I can see the filter working(inside the ORANGE box).
However, when I go to review the report OR when I go to export the Data with Data Warehouse the filter doesn't apply. As you can see in the second image, with the GREEN box, the segment should be active.
When I select this segment from the list of available segments in Data Warehouse, my reports still contain all the other servers.
I would really appreciate anyone's help/guidance on this situation! Still new to this Analytics System.
This is a matter of scope. Basically your segment vs. report is saying "show me all server values where server equals foo at least once for the visitor. So, if a visitor pops foo on one page and bar on another page, it's going to show both. If you want to use a segment to only show only foo, change the scope to hit.
