Getting design info from your website?

I was looking at my stats for my website, this morning, via a service called Awstats which is provided by my shared hosting company. I like to check from time to time as I'm always surprised how many people download my PDF that is unfinished. It's no great number, typically only 3 or 4 a month, but it makes me happy.

Anyway, I noticed that one of the things that Awstats does is to report search terms. I had two searches that pointed to some rules that needed clarification. The problem is I don't know what these searches are from, possibly Adobe Acrobat reader? In the future I'd definitely like to use this as a resource but I need to know more about what is going on to do so. Does anyone data mine search terms to look for game improvements? Why we are on the subject, what have you found to be helpful in a website and is there anything you've found not helpful?
