I'm looking at my logs, and I can't figure out how to separate which results are the regular results from the beta results.

For example, in just looking at the referrer, there are none that say beta.search.msn.com or beta.msn.com. Almost everything from MSN is either from hotmail or from search.msn.com. However, I do see some results from both sea.search.msn.com/spresults.aspx and search.msn.com/pass/.

Now, I'm guessing that it's not the referrer that I should be looking at, but I need a little slap to get me looking in the right direction.

Both route through g.msn.com but if you're seeing search.msn.com referrals then that shouldn't matter.

The first comment which sprang to mind, of course, was if you're sure you're getting any traffic from beta.search.msn.com in the first place. I'd double check by finding your own site with a quirky search term. Then you can find-function your logs for said quirky search term and check what the referrering URL is.
