Как ищут люди
В Америке выходит книжка Web Search: Public Searching of the Web. В заголовки, естественно, выносится открытие авторов, что доля поисковых запросов по сексу снизилась за последние 7 лет с 20% до 8-10% в Европе и до 5% в США. Мне, однако, больше понравился другой комментарий:
What hasn't changed much in seven years is how hard people are willing to work at searching. The answer: Not very. Spink and Jansen found that people averaged about two words per query and two queries per search session. <...> "We were surprised that people weren't doing more complex searches," Spink said. "If you put a couple of words into the Web, you're going to get hundreds of thousands of results. I think people aren't trained very well to use the search engines."
Неделю назад я писал ровно о том же, основываясь на собственном опыте. Теперь выясняется, что исследователи, потрудившиеся статистически обработать миллион запросов на предмет search patterns, пришли к тем же выводам.
