| Only 70 Percent of Canadian Searches Are Successful |
Hitwise announced that only 70 percent of Canadian searches are successful. Nearly one-third (30 percent) of Canadian Internet searches are not successful, forcing Canadians to re-search to find relevant results, according to the Hitwise Canada Search Report.
An average of 70 percent of searches in Canada were "successful" in the 12 weeks ending June 27, 2009 (average of all search engines). A successful search is defined as one where the consumer leaves the search engine after performing a search. This means that 30 percent of searchers were forced to conduct a fresh search - no doubt partially motivated by searches that failed to return a useful result.

| Flight Searches Vary Dramatically by Engine |
August 19, 2009 - Heather Hopkins
We often hear about how search engines compare in market share of searches or relevance of search results but what about query content? Analysis of query content for the travel category reveals that the search terms consumers use on the leading search engines (Google.com, Bing.com and Search.Yahoo.com) vary greatly.
Take for example the following Hitwise Search Term Variations report for the words "flights to". This report shows all of the different search terms that consumers entered into search engines last week that included the keywords "flights to".
