You can do regular expression matching in a SELECT with MySQL. (see http://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql/en/regexp.html). I think that should give you the ability to do what you want to do.

As far as the exact expression you want... well, rather than show off my ignorance, I'll just sit here silently and let you think that I'm smarter than I really am.

Trying to make some queries a little more efficient.  I want to group
HTTP referers together but not with the full URL.  For example, just
"www.google.com" instead of the full search string.  I can't find a way
to do this in MySQL.  Is there a way to turn
"http://search.msn.com/results.aspx?q=things+stuff&FORM=SSRE"; into
"search.msn.com" in a SELECT statement?  Otherwise I have to loop
through them all and parse them myself and run more queries then necessary.
