Search Engines - "Local" search #2557

Referrals from "local" search may be better suited to its own widget. Should investigate capturing the location used for the local search.

Caveat: not a big source of referrals. For example, Yahoo Local is a mash up of the Yellow Pages and web search results (as page filler, i.e., small number of business listings).

                // Google Maps
                'maps.google.com'                       => array('Google Maps', 'q', 'maps?q={k}'),

                // Yahoo! Local
                'local.yahoo.com'       => array('Yahoo! Local', 'p'),

Something specific to local search referrals would be fantastic. Search traffic will be dependent on type of website - for a lot of small businesses with a physical location, referrals from Google Maps and lesser extent Yahoo and Bing "local results" are actually the majority of search referrals we see. "Local Search" is a big buzz right now and probably another good point for Piwik to lead on if it can be addressed.

Here is a possible entry to handle Bing Local searches:

                // Bing Local
                'bing.com/local'        => array('Bing Local', array('what', 'q'), '/default.aspx?q={k}'),      
                '{}.bing.com/local'     => array('Bing Local'),

peak, did you test your suggested change to track bing search and is it working as expected?

Thanks for the request but we haven't heard it from other user so I vote wontfix
