650M = one third of US mobile searches*ComscoreMobileLens, Dec 2010
iPad search term length is actually LONGER on average than a search on the desktop.Yet the rate of search on brand is LOWER…This points to a fundamentally different way in which people are using the device…Note that mobile searches are most likely to be one word longThe median number of words per query is one for all three platformsMobile searches tend to use the fewest words of all platforms:Nearly half of mobile searchers (49%) use just one word per query, compared with under 40% of all Desktop searchers and just under a third of all iPad searchersOnly 15% of mobile searchers use more than two words per query, compared to over a fifth of desktop and iPad searchersAround 95% of all searches on all platforms are three words or less
Another simple example, but this time of the impact of the device:iPads get almost as many Movie searches, and as more TV searches than the PC.I think it’s safe to say that this is because of the form factor here – iPads are great for viewing video. (and the iPad has that great Netflix app…)
