User agent

Requests from WeSEE:Search carry a user agent like this:

WeSEE:Search/0.1 (Alpha, http://www.wesee.com/en/support/bot/)

Device Detector identifies it with this pattern (a case-insensitive regular expression):

WeSEE

Anyone can put any name in a user agent. Where the operator publishes IP ranges, checking the request's address against them is the way to confirm a visit is genuine.

How Vireo counts WeSEE:Search

Vireo keeps requests from WeSEE:Search out of your pageviews and visitors and counts them on its bot report under Search engines, so you can see how much it left out rather than wonder why your server logs show more traffic.

Checked by running Vireo Analytics' own bot filter over WeSEE:Search's user agents.
