I have had reasonable luck with ignoring the host name and just watching
for the various tags such as 'query='. It is simple to configure Analog
to do this, just use '*' for the host name. If you enable all of the
possible tags and ignore the host names you get some junk you don't want,
but it is easy to spot and ignore in the reports.

http://* search
http://* query
and so on.

Dr. Seuss books . . . can be read and enjoyed on several levels. For
example, 'One Fish Two Fish, Red Fish Blue Fish' can be deconstructed
as a searing indictment of the narrow-minded binary counting system.
