Search Engine Users: Internet searchers are confident, satisfied and trusting - but they are also unaware and naïve
http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/146/report_display.asp
A new nationwide survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project shows that internet users are extremely positive about search engines and the experiences they have when searching the internet. But these same satisfied internet users are generally unsophisticated about why and how they use search engines. They are also strikingly unaware of how search engines operate and how they present their results.

This document is the Pew Internet Project’s contribution to “Trends 2005,” a publication of the newly-created Pew Research Center, a research organization that combines several analytical projects funded by the Pew Charitable Trusts. The chapter takes a look back at adoption of the internet in the past decade.
