Can you find out what people are searching for?

I've put the adsense search box on my pages. I've set it to only search my site. (Ads still show of course.)

I'd like to know what people are searching for? I'm not bothered about what ads show or how much each search is paying. But I'd like to see what people on my site have felt the need to search for.

I think it could really help with tailoring and designing the site better.

Can you see what people have searched for anywhere in the Adsense panel?

I created my search boxes in Google Custom Search, not AdSense, so I'm not sure if the same options apply, but I can see the search terms that have been used in my Analytics. So look there.

If you use Google Analytics, there should be an option to connect your Google Custom Search to Analytics in the GCS options. That's what I use, and there isn't a limit to the number of search terms it will show.
