Why not just use REFINCLUDE *.google.*. Your problem is not that your list of search engines is too big, it's that your list of log entries is too big. By excluding every entry that wasn't referred by Google, you should be well able to report on just the Google Search terms. If you're primarily interested in the Search Reports, you need to use the LOWMEM commands for everything _except_ the Referrers - that's the information that you want.
