As a followup. I enabled the combined log format, I do get more information but I think I still see incomplete GET query strings. Here as an example... meebo and googles automatic search query suggestion. 67.199.62.74 - admin [26/Oct/2009:22:45:22 -0600] "GET http://clients1.google.com/complete/search?

To reproduce this log one could go to : http://toolbarqueries.google.com/webhp And start typing a search query, for every letter it will query google so that it returns suggestions that one could use.. all of those requests are not detailed!! Same happens for other similar mechanisms. Why?
