"Brett Tabke posted a WebmasterWorld thread linking to a new survey by Convera that polled 1,112 professionals in various industries in November.  The article is at The Enquirer by the AP and it reveals the following:Only 21 percent of professionals feel that their search query is always understood.   \nJust one in 10 professionals always finds exactly what he or she is looking for on the first attempt.\nAbout 70 percent admit getting sidetracked during the search process and end up on sites they didn\u2019t expect to visit and are not relevant to their work.  \nWhen searches do not return precise information, more than half of professionals believe the information they\u2019re seeking exists, but they do not have the skills to find it.\nOne third of professionals will make decisions without all the facts they need after a series of search attempts fails to help them.\nIf they can't find the results, what do they do?\n90 percent will try the same search engine using a slightly different term\n60 percent will try another popular search engine\nMore than half will turn to a topic-specific search engine\nI was a bit surprised by this finding;\nNearly 90 percent of professionals think that search engines developed by trade publications or professional organizations would yield more relevant content than popular consumer engines.Just realized that this was also posted at Search Engine Land a couple weeks ago.Forum discussion at WebmasterWorld."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
