Google Search on my website: how to tell what people are searching for?

I have the google search box thing on my site. Is there a way I can find out what words people are typing into the search box to find stuff?

    Google Site Search has reporting features that let you understand how your users are using your search engine. You can see reports for the most popular queries, as well as usage statistics over time by visiting the statistics page of your CSE. Additionally, you can easily add Google Analytics to your website, which will give you a great view of exactly how people are using your site.

    Thanks for the tip Brad - I'm sure this can be manipulated in a positive way to make people search for terms that make them more money?
