AOL, IOL and MyWebSearch in Search Keywords Module

I have just noticed a few entries in referrers log at howforge.com. They seems to be a kind of search engine. There are only 3 identical entries from AOL, IOL, and MyWebSearch. Let me explain more detail about them.

  1. AOL has a very unique URL pattern which I don’t think other search engine will never have something like this. Actually, it contains the word "aolcom".
  2. IOL, instead, uses CGI standard and it doesn’t utilize feature of aliasing like Google do. In contrast, IOL add "/cgi-bin" to the URL.
