Reporting of search keywords/phrases by search engine

I'm looking for a utility that will report search phrases and/or individual search words, seperated by the different search engines referrals. I use AWSTATS right now, and it lumps all the keywords and phrases of all the engines together. This makes it hard to figure out how to optimize for the different search engines. My experience shows that the criteria that gets you to the top of one search engine is not always the same for others. Seeing the source of referrals by each engine can help me better understand what is working and what is not.

Also is there a program that will report the last spider visit for each individual page by each engine? That way I can verify that paid inclusions are working correctly, and I can also get an idea how how deep the different engines are crawling?

Thanks,
Les

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Les

There's a nice free Perl script called 'Relax' that reports on search engine / query combinations.

It's a little slow on large logs, but might be something you'd like to investigate.
