Check out the HTTP_REFERER header sometimes sent by browsers when they visit
the first page they get to on your site. If it's set, you can see quite
clearly which search engine they came from, and their query. Simply find
out the format of the query strings on the major search engines you want to
support, and then you will be able to accurately get the search query.

hope that helps!
