I'm redoing my logging and one of the things I have to do is slice up the 
http_referer into useful parts. I can do the operation in multiple lines and 
multiple expressions, but I'd rather do it in one. Here's the code:

<CFSET 
referer="http://www.googlecom.com/search?hl=en&lr=&q=html+javax+parse+plain+text+example&btnG=Search";>
<CFSET 
qReferer=REFindNoCase('^https?://([^/]+)/?(.+?([&?][pq]=([^&]+)).*?|.+)?$',referer&'&',1,1)>
Positions
2=domain
3=referer string
5=search term

This will basically try to find a search term first and if it totally fails 
(non-google/yahoo referer) it'll go to the alternate. This just doesn't 'feel' 
as tight as it could be. I wanted to do 
(.+?([&?][pq]=([^&]+))?.*?)?$
but it would never recognise the internal expression that would be the search. 

Is there something better I can do?

Thanks
