If you prefer to manually edit your configuration files, use the following syntax for this option:

searchservertemplates
altavista.com q= AltaVista
www.altavista.com q= AltaVista
altavista.digital.com q= AltaVista
www.altavista.digital.com q= AltaVista
altavista.yellowpages.com.au q= AltaVista (Australia)
www.altavista.yellowpages.com.au q= AltaVista (Australia)
end searchservertemplates

The Search Server Templates ^{(searchservertemplates)} option is used to describe how Wusage should recognize search keywords in referring URLs. This is needed to allow the generation of the Show Top Internet Search Keywords ^{(searchkeywords)}, Show Top Internet Search Servers ^{(searchservers)}, and Show Top Search Keywords By Search Server Used ^{(searchkeywordsbyserver)} reports.

Each entry in the list of server templates contains three things: a pattern matching the host name of the server (see the Patterns and Regular Expressions section), a prefix that appears in the referring URL immediately before the search keyword or keywords, and a full name to be used to identify the search server. Note that if two entries in the server templates list have the same full name, accesses matching both patterns will count as accesses to the same server.

The provided example contains the correct values for the Altavista (tm) search server as of 7/26/99. These and many other common search servers will be automatically included in any new configuration files you create through the user interface. The correct values may change over time, and there may be other major or minor search servers of special interest to you.

(The provided examples use complete host names rather than patterns, for maximum speed. You may freely use patterns in your own templates.)
