The Seven Ways That People Search the Web

After the recent release of AOL search logs, Paul Boutin used the site splunkd.com to analyse the logs.

My favorite example search is in the Basketcase category: i hurt when i think too much i love roadtrips i hate my weight i fear being alone for the rest of my life — via Slashdot
