Survey: Searchers are Confident, Satisfied & Clueless

Coverage
Chris Sherman, Search Engine Watch
'"The vast majority of searchers say they are confident about their searching skills and are successful at finding what they're looking for far more often than not, yet most don't understand how search engines work or present results.
A new survey from the Pew Internet & American Life project presents some remarkable—and somewhat disturbing findings about the self-perceptions of search engine users."
NOTE: Many news sites move articles into data bases after a period of time and then offer them for sale, in the process changing the URLs that link to them. Or they require registration. Thus, we provide a link to the front page of the news website and the information necessary to find the story on that site, rather than a direct link to the article.
