Search engine detection (google.fr)

I should probably add that in the “top search engines” panel, I see the full URL of the search, as :
https://www.bing.com/search?q=chambre d'h?tes chateaudun&qs=n&pq=chambre d'h?tes chateaudun&sc=3-26&sp=-1&sk=&cvid=8A29391066CD4CFAB5AA8F8D747492D2&first=21&FORM=PERE1
where I would have expected to only see
https://www.bing.com

As is, each bing request appears as a separate entry in the search engines panel, which is, ahem, not very useful.

Could it be something I did wrong at my end, that’d be disturbing the search calls parsing ?

Hi,

thank you for your feedback. We are looking into this issue.

OK thanks, let me know if you have trouble reproducing and I can contribute more info…

This has been fixed in version 4.2.5. Let me know if it works for you!

Thanks for trying, but nope, sorry.

There is a slight effect :
In the “top search engines” panel, where I had two separate entries for bing, with full search query, I now have still two separate entries, but they’re not displaying the search queries anymore.
I.e. I now see:

Top search engines (results 1-2 of 2) :
https://www.bing.com (1 hit)
https://www.bing.com (1 hit)

I would hope for a collation of these.
Now this could be due to a pollution of my current data with the previous buglet, and possibly new incoming bing hits would be all collated under one single entry?

And google.fr hits still don’t get detected as search engine hits (although they do increment the number of hits seen under the referer google.fr).

By the way, I have two entries for google in “top referers”, one seems to be listed under “https://www.google.fr” and the second one with “https://www.google.fr/” (with the trailing backslash).

In case it is useful to you, the link in my google search results looks like :

https://www.google.fr/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&ved=0ahUKEwjliOGC9bLKAhXD0RQKHaFDD5sQFggeMAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.laplacestmartin.fr%2F&usg=AFQjCNHCEx3GaaL_o2QA_r4pYTvbvArpxA

Now this could be due to a pollution of my current data with the previous buglet, and possibly new incoming bing hits would be all collated under one single entry?

Alas no, just tried 2 more BING queries, and got 2 more “bing” search engines listed in the “top search engines”…

I see what you mean. Would you like to test the fix we implemented? Please contact us at

and I will send you a copy of the next version.

Contact sent, thank you.

Sent.

Just a comeback to close this report: it now works “fine” with the more current versions. “fine” as in “google engines now recognized, but their search arguments (mostly) obfuscated by google, so not contributing to the useful ‘top search terms’ stats…”

Thanks !

Terrific.
