AwStats shows the following as a search term on one of my sites. Does anyone know what it is?

695660;302562

TIA

That's the complete term as far as I know. I don't have the raw logs on this particular site so I have no other info to hand.

That is a part of the path in the url of a search engine results page.

For instance, if you do a search for "Google" on the Google search engine you will see this:
[google.com...]

Some quick research uncovered one SE in Australia that puts those numbers at the end of the url like this:
index.jsp?catPathIdx=1&skip=14&catPath=695660;302562.

There are probably other Search Engines doing it. So, when the visitor hits your site, the numbers are recorded as the referring keywords instead of the real keyword that was actually used.
