Perhaps, I myself used longer search terms rather than just 2-word. I do that to avoid unrelated searche results.

Definately getting smarter. I know people who type a normal 2 word search string, get bad (mostly niche marketed) results and add another word to the string.

This process goes on until they have narrowed down the result enough to feel comfortable that all they have left are no-nonsense results.

And these aren’t regular computer users I’m talking about either…

I think users definately getting smarter and I think part of it is because search engines are not returning relevant searches for one word searches .

If one word searches was returning relavant results users would not be using long tail search queries.
