hi veteran,
Thank you for your question.
.
Mondosoft ( www.mondosoft.com ) offers unique insights into the search
activity and user behavior on your web site. 'BehaviorTracking'
collects information about users' search queries, product requests, IP
numbers and domain names, about their search success, chosen links and
more, and presents the information in a user friendly report form.
.
The 'Top Search Words' menu gives an insight to visitors' interests,
by listing the most popular search terms. As a default you will see
the search trends within the last 7 days, and next to them the
accumulated search words data. The date spans displayed can be changed
in 'Date Settings'.
All the 'Top Search Words' are listed as clickable links. When
selected you get a list of the pages that were most often chosen for
the specific search term. To the right of the search terms are two
additional links; First 'Related Searches', an intelligence feature
that correlates interest areas of all search sessions, and second a
'Sessions' link, showing which users actually employed the specific
search word. The users' domain names (or IP-numbers when domains are
not visible) are also listed as clickable lnks that - when selected - 
show the specific user session, containing the top search word.
Information from the 'Top Search Words' page can be everything from an
overview of present and accumulated search trends, to detailed images
of behavior patterns and interest areas.

I am surprised that only one vendor has this type of visitor tracking
software. What is the experience with that software? From your
response it didn't seemed that you have used it.

No, I havent used "BehaviorTracking" myself - but I had recently
researched this topic for another asker who asked a similar
question...
.
Certainly, search results show that Mondosoft comes up top and is also
mentioned in most of the subsequent results. I came across some
pricing information for Mondosoft - Pricing is based on the number of
pages indexed. Prices range from about $300 per month for sites with
fewer than 200 pages to about $5000 per month for sites nearing
100,000 pages. For very large web sites, prices are negotiable. The
cost of a product license (CD) also depends upon the size of the web
site. The price begins at about $4000. Mondosoft's corporate clients
include Jelly Belly, People's Bank, Munson Healthcare, ADT, Oakland
Raiders, and Random House. From the information I have come across the
experience is a positive one, and their customizable features are
praised.
----------------------------------------
I also came across some other options:

"Webtracker" (by Visitracker)
Visitracker.com (Visitrack Limited) are a service provider that
specialises in providing high quality Business intelligence, Search
engine placement and optimisation, Online marketing, Web tracking,
Visitor analysis and customised solutions. They are a British company

"Webtracker" shows the origin of search terms from normal and Pay Per
Click search engines both by the country of the user and the paid
search engine source and partner network. Webtracker currently tracks
over 80 of the major search engines. It can also show the breakdown of
any Pay Per Click terms and the paid search engines from which they
originate even if you use the same search term in many different paid
engines. Webtracker can show you how effective your search terms are
at attracting the right kind of qualified visitors by showing what the
users of individual keywords & phrases then go on the look at on your
web site. By combining 3 different methodologies to determine the true
geographical location of your visitors with much greater accuracy,
Webtracker can also tell you where your visitors are coming and where
in the world your search terms and referrers come from too. Webtracker
is NOT server log based but instead uses standard HTML code snippets
to track the web pages or hyperlinks that it is on and as such can
gather information that server log based systems can not - therefore
you have no need to install or download any software to your
computers. Webtracker gives you access to very accurate and
comprehensive statistics - it gathers it's information from a piece of
html code that you can easily paste into any page you wish to track
using their code generator. Each time these pages are accessed your
statistics are automatically updated giving you up to the minute
information.
.
Other main features are :
*	Over 50 clear but powerful reports, many unique to Webtracker.
*	Resistant to cookie limiting software or disabled cookies
*	Tracking of individual visitors from a search phrase or referring
page through every page they visited including their country of
origin, hostname, total visits, duration's on each page etc.
*	Ability to show up to 500 results on many reports.
*	Include or exclude filters on selected reports.
*	Tracking automatically works on both normal HTTP and secure HTTPS
servers including shopping carts
*	Uses P3P compliant cookies which work correctly on MS IE6.
*	Available in custom built form for specific customer requirements
*	Will work along side standard server logs programs like Webtrends,
Analog etc
