>- see footer for list info -< I suspect, much like all of us on here in all of the apps we create, that the developer of each search engine chooses his/her variable names at their own discretion.
You'll have to maintain a list of all the different ones against the domain. Worse still, new SEs enter the market all the time, so your up to date list of different variable names will be out of date in no time. And then, there's nothing stopping google changing the name of the variable (unlikely though). To be honest, I'd just store the query string and then look at it with human eyes now and then. Actually Google will help you out with keywords used go to http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ for all sorts of useful stats about your domains. And then register for Google Analytics, which is pretty sweet. And a half. With chips.

Does anyone have a list of search engines and the variables they use, or a function that does something along these lines?
