Search Engine User Attitudes
A very interesting survey result from a search engine user behavior survey taken late last year. In particular, it is interesting what people think and do when their searches fail to satisfy.
One idea is that search users believe it's more their mistake than the search engine's. In other words, instead of trying the same search elsewhere -- which might actually bring up a better result -- they may feel they've simply not come up with the right query.
