using german ui of google analytics stumbled upon 2 dimensions called "zielseite" , 1 "zielseite der suche" 
so switching english version brought following possible dimensions: landing page , search destination page -- no idea second "zielseite" be.
using https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/reporting/core/dimsmets found following api-names:
ga:landingpagepath ui name: landing page first page in user's session, or landing page.
ga:searchdestinationpage ui name: destination page page user visited after performing internal search on site. (usually search results page).
ga:searchafterdestinationpage ui name: search destination page page user visited after performing internal search on site.
so started analysis-queries:
metric: ga:sessions dimensions: ga:landingpagepath,ga:searchdestinationpage,ga:searchused all results had ga:landingpagepath==ga:seachdestinationpage (no matter if ga:searchused==visits site search or visits without site search) that's not expect. (155 search , 5237 without search)
so question dimensions have same value , 1 have correct value?
landing page path first page of session coming anywhere.
search destination page internal search results. not landing page -- page went after did search on site (assumes site has site search capability , ga configured recognize internal search queries).
sessions counted on landing pages, , including search destination page in query automatically restricts query visits site site search (there no (not set) value dimension - sessions without value excluded report). try query unique pageviews, , without search destination page, , without landing page, compare.
welcome custom reporting in ga....
