Way back when the web was young and dynamic content was rare, query
strings just about always indicated personalized, non-cacheable
content. Prior to version 2.7 and 3.1 (I think) Squid, by default did
not even attempt to cache anything with "cgi-bin" or a question mark in
the URL (acl QUERY urlpath_regex cgi-bin ?/no_cache deny QUERY). Since
this content was not cached, there was no reason to check if it is
cached on siblings (hierarchy_stoplist cgi-bin ?).
If you are using the now recommended refresh_pattern (refresh_pattern -i
(/cgi-bin/|\?) 0 0% 0 ), dynamic content that provides freshness
information can be cached (and that which doesn't, will not be) so
removing the default hierarchy_stoplist might net you a few more hits.
Hope that clears it up.
