Google Analytics search engines tracked and how to extend the list.
So here is the default list of search engine that Google Analytics support in its system.
google, yahoo, msn, aol, lycos, ask, altavista, netscape, cnn, looksmart, about, mamma, alltheweb, gigablast, voila, virgilio, live, baidu, alice, seznam, yandex, najdi, aol, club-internet, mama, seznam, search.
Now let say, like us, that some of your visitors are coming from xxx search engine and that you know it because you have access to the stats from your hosting service provider. So according to google, you just have to add the following line _uOsr[20]=”search_engine_name“; _uOkw[20]=”query_variable“; in the Tracking code supplied by Google Analytics as follow for each search engine that you want to add. Don’t forget to incrrement the number inside the scare braket, 20, 21, 22 etc.
<script src=”http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js” type=”text/javascript”>

<script type=”text/javascript”>
_uacct = “UA-xxxx-x”;
_uOsr[20]=”search_engine_name“; _uOkw[20]=”query_variable“;
