string refererUrl = "http://www.google.com/search?q=gateway+oracle+cards+denise+linn&hl=en&client=safari";
string pageUrl    = "http:/www.psychicbazaar.com/shop"; // Our current URL

var referer = Parser.Parse(new Uri(refererUrl), pageUrl);

Console.WriteLine(r.Medium); // => "Search"
Console.WriteLine(r.Source); // => "Google"
Console.WriteLine(r.Term); // => "gateway oracle cards denise linn"


// usage with custom supplied databases and new Medium Values:
private enum TestEnum
{
    // Order is important, most important medium's first
    Search = 0,
    Paid,
    Social,
    Email,
    Unknown,
    Internal,
    Foobar
}
referrerUrl = "https://thrivehive.com";

var parser = new Parser<MyEnum>(new[] {@"
foobar:
  Thrivehive:
    domains:
      - thrivehive.com"});

var referer = Parser.Parse(new Uri(refererUrl), pageUrl);
