Subject: Doesn't work with AOL's search engine
parsesearchstring fails with this HTTP_REFERER: http://search.aol.co.uk/aol/search?enabled_terms=&q=brass+bands+oxfordshire&s_it=aoluk-homePage50&page=2&oreq=1c7bf0b6903846b7970924958944f248&v_t=aoluk-homePage50 Try this test program: #!/usr/bin/perl -wT use strict; use warnings; use URI::ParseSearchString; my $u = URI::ParseSearchString->new(); print $u->parse_search_string('http://search.aol.co.uk/aol/search?enabled_terms=&q=brass+bands+oxfordshire&s_it=aoluk-homePage50&page=2&oreq=1c7bf0b6903846b7970924958944f248&v_t=aoluk-homePage50'); print "\n";
Hey, thanks for the feedback - you are right it does not work. AOL UK seems to use 'query' for specifying keywords in the search URL and now they use 'q'. I will have to think of some sort of support for both at the same time as I do not want to break the module for people re- processing old logs. I will try and submit a patch in the next week. thank you once more Spiros
