- dangrossman 13y agoNo, as Google does not include the keyword in the referrer either. They moved it from the query string to a hash tag, which is not part of the URL sent in the referrer header.
- ihsw 13y agoNot only that but they actively put in an intermediary redirect between the search results page and the destination, so that website owners will know they came from Google, but not the search term used.
