What's a "search engine" for Woopra?

I'm testing Woopra on Ceneje.si, which is a price comparison website from Slovenia.

Most of our traffic comes from search engines, but I think Woopra does not know, quite understandably, that http://najdi.si/ is the biggest search engine in Slovenia. When I look at Analytics->Referrers->Search Engines, I only see Google (which mostly means google.si, the search giant's Slovenian localization).

Both Statcounter.com and Google Analytics track najdi.si as a search engine, and we got used to that :-) Will Woopra learn this trick soon, too? It's quite important for us, but I'm sure for many users around the globe as well.

Carlitos,
Unfortunately, there is no standard format for search engine referrers. The only way to detect if a referrer is a search engine is to look in a local list of search engines and try to find a match.. Meanwhile, we will be including new entries in our databases, based on our users requests. Thanks for your assistance.

Good, thanks for your answer.

I believe this "suggest a search engine" feature would be great to have right inside Woopra, wouldn't it? Sounds like great stuff for a plugin, too :-)

FWIW, please add "najdi.si" to the list of search engines woopra knows about. Thank you!
