Query Strings Dialog Box

Use the Query Strings dialog box to specify that you want the Web Server log Import DTS task to import Web site query strings, so that the data associated with them can be analyzed.

If your site uses query strings, you can record the query strings in log files and import them into the Data Warehouse. You can use query strings in your site for searching or running executable files. If you have a list of query strings that your site uses, you can enable reporting on the content associated with those query strings. By default, query strings are stored with the Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) in the Data Warehouse.
