20+ stats you might not know about user search behaviour
One of the major trends explored in Econsultany’s new SEO Agencies Buyer’s Guide is that user search behaviour is changing. In this industry, there’s no shortage of information around how and why marketers are using SEO, but to me, there seems to be a distinct lack of research which looks from the other side of the fence at how we use search as internet users. Best practice is extremely important, but so is understanding how people are actually using search engines.
Search is Still Alive and Well
Bing Powered engines as a whole grew 4.3% MOM in query volume, driving its total market share up by 1ppt.

Google CEO Eric Schmidt, speaking to the audience at the TechCrunch Disrupt conference in San Francisco this week, said that his company expects mobile to dominate search at some point in the future. "Eventually, we think mobile will be the majority of the searches and the majority of the revenue," he said . But that future could take a long time to get here, he added. Schmidt also touched on the future of search in general, at least as Google sees it, speaking of a time when Google searches become automatic and autonomous, leading to "serendipitous" discovery of the world around you.

Editor’s note: This story is part of our Microsoft-sponsored series on cutting-edge innovation . Stefan Weitz is a director of search at Microsoft. More and more, people in the search community are pushing to move beyond simple keyword-search capabilities towards a more omniscient search tool. Imagine if, instead of delivering up search results based on the keywords you typed in, your search tool was more of an omniscient oracle that could understand the nuances of both you as a person and as a searcher.
The tussle for U.S. search dominance over the last few years has been interesting. Google has eaten Yahoo’s lunch for the better part of a decade, but Microsoft’s Bing engine, released in 2009, has crept steadily upward. While it serves nowhere near the volume Google does, it’s interesting to see their parallel trajectories while competitors trend downward. Our friends at Statista have compiled search data from 2008 to the present, and tell the story of search query explosion and yearly trends. Is it possible Google could be overtaken in the foreseeable future? Or is its dominance immutable for now?
