What is search spy?

Search spy is a perpetually refreshing page that provides a real-time view of actual Web searches.
While not as immediately useful as keyword databases that summarize monthly totals, search engine spies can give insight into how people actually search. (Some keyword databases, such as the Goto.com tool, alter the raw searches to assist grouping.)

Search engine spies come in filtered and unfiltered varieties. Filtered services attempt to remove “objectionable” searches. Some spy services only offer one or the other, some offer both options and let you choose.
