dual action queries

I was wondering if anyone knows how to have a search form write its query to a log file or database so that I can report on what people are searching for.
So when they search for something, they get to a results page and the database or log file gets written to so I can check to see what the most popular search parameters are.
The server technology I am using is jsp.
thanks for you help on this toughie.

If you know how to create a database search then surely you know how to save it search criteria into a table? Did you not create the search page?

I did create the search, but the action is to a third party site (it is an online travel site). I am not sure though as to how to also make it insert into a databse at the same time.

oh right, in that case, change the action to a page you have created which will save the search criteria and then make it automatically redirect to the third party site where the user can see their search results.
