Our intranet has a search feature which we are trying to integrate as a custom Search Engine for the referrer report, see sample url/code below.

I believe the reason the code below is not working is because the query URL contains a #.

Are #tags (and everything after) automatically being removed from all referrer URLs?
I have enabled Page URL fragments tracking so I presumed that this would enable tracking of the full url for Referrers also?

The sample search url below is shown as a referrer in the visitor log as http://searchportal.com/search/simple.htm and no data is appearing on the keywords/Search Engines page.

Sample search url
http://searchportal.com/search/simple.htm#!&page=1&tab=1&query=xxxxxx

Line added to Search Engines Data file
'searchportal.com' => array('IntranetSearch', 'query', 'search/simple.htm#!&page=1&tab=1&query={k}'),

Similar issue: #6718

Hi @Jgavin101

unfortunately it's not possible AFAIK to get the Hash tag of a Referrer URL. For example in this SO answer: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2039306/send-a-location-hash-through-a-referrer

First, the hash portion of a URL is used on the client side only. It will never appear in server logs, requests, or as part of a REFERRER string.
