Description

The Ignored Referring URLs ^{(ignorereferrers)} option indicates which referring URLs will be ignored by wusage for purposes of generating the Chart Top Referring URLs ^(referrers) report and related reports, such as the Chart Top Referring Sites ^{(referringsites)}, Show Top Internet Search Servers ^{(searchservers)}, Show Top Internet Search Keywords ^{(searchkeywords)}, and Show Top Search Keywords By Search Server Used ^{(searchkeywordsbyserver)} reports. Referring URLs which match any of the patterns listed for the Ignored Referring URLs ^{(ignorereferrers)} option will be ignored only for purposes of these reports; the access is otherwise treated normally. Each character of the referring URL is matched against the pattern. An * in the pattern matches any number of characters in the referring URL. Patterns have additional features, including support for regular expressions; for more information about patterns, see the Patterns and Regular Expressions section. If the Ignored Referring URLs ^{(ignorereferrers)} option is absent, no referring URLs will be ignored.
