The Web analytics firm reports that in February, 32.58% of all online searches were conducted with two words. Another 25.61% were conducted with three words and only 19.02% were one-word searches. As John Battelle says: "It shows, as has been the case for the past year or so, that searches are getting more complicated - the percentage of searches that have just one word in them is declining, and the percentage of multi-word searches is ever-so-slowly increasing."
