I don't have much luck filtering ga:pageTitle. Does ga:pageTitle=@Shopping work?

I have much better luck filtering ga:pagePath=@keyword

neither pageTitle=@ nor pagePath=@ works for me at all.  

when you filter on pagePath are you filtering on a particular parameter of the url or do you use slashes or something?  I've tried every permutation I can think of.

This worked for me:  ga:pageTitle=~(Shopping Cart - Camping World)

Usually just a part of the URL. For example, we should have a better way to track traffic in certain sections of the website. But we don't. (long story) So I use ga:pagePath=@ to find the stories with that section in the URL.

Also, it works when looking for a node id in our CMS.

I never tried the () when filtering ga:pageTitle. This will help a lot. Thank you.
