Running Pmax (no feed) & Search Together

Is anyone running pmax and search together? For our Pmax, the leads are horrible and for our search campaigns (mostly non-branded), we are getting no traffic.

Thoughts? Should I test running search only and pause Pmax and see results? Pmax seems to be mostly "other", which includes search.

Search CPA is so much higher, so I want to make Pmax work, but the tracking when the leads there is a lot of irrelevant conversions. I have asked our web dev team to test out Austin's idea of tracking better (stand alone page), but we really don't have it in the budget right now!
