Comment:

 It seems that navigating between categories has now breaks category-based
 search(!); submitting a query returns you to the previously selected
 category.

 Three other challenges to address, though, before this is viable for
 GTM/GA:

 - It looks like the URL is updated ''after'' the form result is returned.
 That means it's too late for GTM to pick up the change easily. It needs to
 change on click/submit.

 - The category parameters aren't as per the requirements (e.g.,
 https://wordpress.org/search/dogs?forums=1 should be
 https://wordpress.org/search/dogs?search_category=support_forums).

 - Navigation between categories which have previously been selected
 doesn't update the URL.
