In AWStats 6.9 and older, Bing is not recognized as a search engine. Bing visitors appear under Links from an external page (other web sites except search engines).

You have to edit search_engines.pm in the lib directory to add Bing support. We explain here how to edit each section of the file :

@SearchEnginesSearchIDOrder_list1

 
Find

'msn\.',

and replace it by

'msn\.',
'bing\.com',

%SearchEnginesHashID

 
Find

'msn\.','msn',

and replace it by

'msn\.','msn',
'bing\.com','bing',

%SearchEnginesKnownUrl

 
Find

'msn','q=',

and replace it by

'msn','q=',
'bing','q=',

%SearchEnginesHashLib

 
Find

'msn','<a href="http://search.msn.com/" title="Search Engine Home Page [new window]" target="_blank">MSN Search</a>',

and replace it by

'msn','<a href="http://search.msn.com/" title="Search Engine Home Page [new window]" target="_blank">MSN Search</a>',
'bing','<a href="http://www.bing.com/" title="Search Engine Home Page [new window]" target="_blank">Bing</a>',
 
 
Your modified version of AWStats search_engines.pm is now ready to support Bing. Bing visitors will be listed in the search engines section and you will find their keywords under Search Keyphrases and Search Keywords.
