Several days ago, I just following the instructions at

http://www.slideshare.net/pandyajigar/how-to-see-the-full-referring-url-in-google-analytics-by-jigar-pandya

to add a filter in order to get the full referrer path in Google analytics report.

Now I still cannot figure out how to see the full referrer, I go to "Standard Report", then "Conversions", then "Ecommerce", then "Transactions", I can see the transaction report, then in "Secondardy dimension: Referral Path", I can see the referrer path but it is still relative, like this:

/question/78

I cannot find a way to see the full referrer yet.

You need to select Secondary Dimension > Behavior > Full Referrer or select the alphabetical listing and navigate straight to it. That will provide a report column with the full referrer URLs. You can make this more convenient by constructing a custom report if you need to access this data frequently.
