RE: [Summary-Talk] Local search - problem

[Jason Linhart <jason@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

It all depends on what you want to see in the request reports and what 
you don't want to see. Summary can be setup to process requests like 
yours in three different ways.

The default configuration in Summary is to treat everything after the 
first '?' as part of the query string, giving the following:
Request:
<http://www.domain.cz/main.php>
Query:
<pageid=10&lang=3&searchinput=aaaaa>

If you turn on "Include query string in requests", on the Options 
configuration page, you get *all* of the arguments included in the 
request, this way:
Request:
<http://www.domain.cz/main.php?pageid=10&lang=3&searchinput=aaaaa>
Query:
(Empty)

The third option is to set "Query tag to include in request", on the 
Sub-report Details configuration page in Summary SP Lite and SP only, to 
"pageid", which gives you the following:
Request:
<http://www.domain.cz/main.php?pageid=10>
Query:
<lang=3&searchinput=aaaaa>

I would expect that you really want the third option, that "pageid" 
specifies the page that is returned, while "lang" and "searchinput" 
behave more like CGI arguments.

Putting too many elements into the request will mess up the Content and 
Paths reports, splitting something that is really one page into several 
different items in the report. Putting too few elements into the request 
will combine several different pages into a single item in the reports. 
Which approach is best depends on how your web site is designed.

One of the limitations is that "Local search tag" only gets matched 
against things in the query, not the request. If you want to see Local 
Search reports you will have to use the first or third option.
