For the referrer type, why baidu and sougou were recognized as other websites?

Can I manually fix it with any settings?

Some sm.cn, quark.cn and other new rising search engines in China were also not been recognized as search engines.

I suggest that you bring this up with Client Care to fix this. It could be that Adobe's internal matching algorithm for recognising Search Engines doesn't work well with non-English search engines.

Hi @DebbyNPL 

If the referrer data does not belong to Adobe recognized search engines or social networks, they will be collected under 'Other Web Sites'.

@DebbyNPL - Aside from validating the search engine detection in your Marketing Channel Classification rules with Adobe, you could always use a rule to identify the Referring Root Domain

And then set the value to the Referring domain.

Hope you're able to get this figured out either way.  Best of luck!

Hi Jeff. Thanks for your reply! Your answer seems to be work! Could you please share me that where can I find these rule settings.

Hi @DebbyNPL,

The changes are made here: Admin > Report Suites > {Chose your Report Suite} > Edit Settings > Marketing Channels > Marketing Channel Processing Rules
