While we are talking about the search quality of different length of search queries, I wish to mention a survey released in January 2007 by RankStat.com [rankstat.com] and based on a sample of 2 million visitors divided into 20,000 visitors of 100 countries each day.

1. Two word phrases 28.38 percent
2. Three word phrases 27.15 percent
3. Four word phrases 16.42 percent
4. One word phrase 13.48 percent
5. Five word phrases 8.03 percent
6. Six word phrases 3.67 percent
7. Seven word phrases 1.63 percent
8. Eight word phrases 0.73 percent
9. Nine word phrases 0.34 percent
