Here is an interesting quote by Microsofts Steve Ballmer in an interview by the Financial Times.
“The [search] experience leaves a lot to be desired. Something like 50 per cent of searches don’t actually result in an answer to the user’s question ... the average search I think is 2.1 words. Isn’t that odd? Why don’t people type more into search queries? Because they have learned the more you type, the more false positives you get.”
