When someone searchs for something in google, and then clicks into my site, is there a way I can track in my parameter, what was their search term?

Yes, as long as the search engine uses get and not post....
You need to grab the HTTP Referer. Since this information is comeing from the client you will not have 100% accuracy - probably more like 50% - depending on your industry.
In ASP you could print out the referer like so: <%=Request.ServerVariables("HTTP_Referer")%>
EDIT: Typos

You can also get a log file analyzer program. This will parse your server log files and present the data in a organized layout. They can, most, tell you how many page views, how many unique visitors. What SE are showing you love. What the searcher is coming in on for keywords and what SE. Among a slew of other things.
Take care,
Brian

I tried using this from google, but I did not get my search term that I used to search from google.
Which search engines should this work from?

It works in Google, Yahoo, MSN and most others. If you had a problem it may be due to a browser setting. Are you passing referer information? What does your code look like?
