Referrals from "local" search may be better suited to its own widget. Should investigate capturing the location used for the local search.

Caveat: not a big source of referrals. For example, Yahoo Local is a mash up of the Yellow Pages and web search results (as page filler, i.e., small number of business listings).

                // Google Maps
                'maps.google.com'                       => array('Google Maps', 'q', 'maps?q={k}'),

                // Yahoo! Local
                'local.yahoo.com'       => array('Yahoo! Local', 'p'),

Something specific to local search referrals would be fantastic. Search traffic will be dependent on type of website - for a lot of small businesses with a physical location, referrals from Google Maps and lesser extent Yahoo and Bing "local results" are actually the majority of search referrals we see. "Local Search" is a big buzz right now and probably another good point for Piwik to lead on if it can be addressed.

Here is a possible entry to handle Bing Local searches:

                // Bing Local
                'bing.com/local'        => array('Bing Local', array('what', 'q'), '/default.aspx?q={k}'),      
                '{}.bing.com/local'     => array('Bing Local'),

peak, did you test your suggested change to track bing search and is it working as expected?
