Here's a start. I started collecting this data quite some time ago, and it only represents search engines that people used to find sites where I've collected this data. In other words, this isn't exactly a comprehensive list and you can already see where minor variations on the URL could cause a big headache.
What I have at this page is a list of Search Engine URLs that directed user's to my site, as well as the query string variable to holds the search term. I also have the generic search name (for instance google.com, google.ca, google.it, google.co.uk, et al. is just "Google") in there.

This would be a bad idea for a community implemented UDF. *hint* *hint* Here is the idea... Someone writes up a quick UDF shell something like the following. <cffunction name="getSearchQuery" returntype="string"> <cfargument name="referer" type="string" required="true"> <!--- pick out the domain from the referer ---!> <cfset var domain = REFind()> <cfswitch expression="#UCase(domain)#"> <cfcase value="GOOGLE.COM"> <!--- return the search query ---> <cfreturn REFIND()> </cfcase> <cfswitch> </cffunction> Then a bunch of different communities pick a search engine and write the cfcase for it. Before you know it all the major search engines will be supported. Anyone interested?
