You should be able to read some basic statistics for your site at search engines. Pretty sure google provides it's list free of charge.
A lot of places will charge you.

It's possible that there will be a "referer" header in the server varriables that might tell you where they came from, but unlikly it will tell you what they put in the search box at a search engine.

hey thats what i want "what words a user puts in search engine to reach my site"

It would be great if uyou can tell me which server variable can give the words.

I don't think that Plater meant that there is a Server variable available in your application to determine what key words were used in a search engine to reach your site.

Plater was implying that Google has a service that you can use (free of charge) to allow you to access to this information.

Indeed.

The best I can offer is the "Referer" header variable like I mentioned before. Have a look at it and maybe it can help you some.

14.36 Referer
The Referer[sic] request-header field allows the client to specify, for the server's benefit, the address (URI) of the resource from which the Request-URI was obtained (the "referrer", although the header field is misspelled.) The Referer request-header allows a server to generate lists of back-links to resources for interest, logging, optimized caching, etc. It also allows obsolete or mistyped links to be traced for maintenance. The Referer field MUST NOT be sent if the Request-URI was obtained from a source that does not have its own URI, such as input from the user keyboard.

Referer = "Referer" ":" ( absoluteURI | relativeURI )
Example:

Referer: http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources/Overview.html
If the field value is a relative URI, it SHOULD be interpreted relative to the Request-URI. The URI MUST NOT include a fragment. See section 15.1.3 for security considerations.
