A search engine is counted as a website referrer. How can I add the search engine to Matomo?

To add a new search engine in your Matomo (Piwik) server, you can use the ReferrerManager plugin which lets you manage Search Engines and Social networks.

The lists of Search engines and Social networks detected by Matomo are maintained in our searchengine-and-social-list project on github.

Since Matomo 2.16.0 definitions are automatically updated in Matomo installations using a scheduled task. This guarantees your Matomo uses the latest definitions.

To submit a new Search engine to Matomo, please click here to open a Pull request or here to create an Issue in order to suggest it.

You can read more about how to add/edit a search engine or social network definition in the README file of the repository.

(Matomo uses an icon for each search engine and social network, placed in the directory plugins/Referrers/images/)

Previous FAQ: I would like to import an existing Users database (login, password, emails) in Matomo, but the usernames and passwords are more permissive than what Matomo allows. How do I disable the checks on the Logins & Passwords?
