I am looking for a list of websites that Adobe Analytics recognizes as a search engine. If not, is there any way I can find that information on AA with free from tables?

@user00758 - The list of search engine is dynamic and isn't available as a list externally for users. However, you can create a ticket with Client Care and the team can provide a manual dump, as needed - though the list can change and any search engines can be added or removed.

Through the freeform table in AA, you will only be able to list out the 'search engines' that users have used to reach you site. This can be achieved using Search Engine dimension. 

 

One work-around to get a list of recognized search engines is through Lookup files (search_engines.tsv). This option is available in data feeds. Note, this is not a static list and keeps updating.

Hey @user00758 

 

In case you are looking for paid campaigns on search engines, this could be helpful: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/admin/admin-tools/paid-search-detection/t-paid-sea...

 

You can see list of recognized Search Engines in Admin section of Adobe Analytics.

Hey @user00758 - Within Analysis workspace, there are 3 dimensions, Search Engine, Search Engine - Natural & Search Engine - Paid.

  • Search engine: The search engine used to reach your site, regardless of if it is paid or natural.
  • Search engine - paid: The search engine used to reach your site, which matched paid search detection.
  • Search engine - natural: The search engine used to reach your site, which did not match paid search detection.

You can use this dimension with Visits metric to get the data you are looking for. Hope it helps
