You want *that* on the website? I think you are expecting a bit too
much, even with AJAX. Even ignoring the programming difficulty, the
result will probably be frustratingly unresponsive due to network
latency.

In general, you shouldn't expect a website to be able to emulate
locally installed software.

I've never seen a traffic analysis software that tracks anything like
what you are describing. Most traffic analysis software just track
which pages are visited and the referral page. Btw, I could not find a
way to make Google Analytics to track search queries through the
custom search engine. If there is a way to do it, it sure isn't
obvious.
