| Nearly 1 in 4 Britons (24%) believe that the order of the search listings they use cannot be influenced by the publishers of websites listed, whilst a similar proportion (22%) suspect that results are ordered entirely according to how much has been paid by the websites listed. 1 in 5 consumers (19%) have no idea at all how results are compiled, and 5% believe that search listings are arranged completely at random like a lottery. |

Source [guardian.co.uk] I assume this can be applied globally and not only to the Brits.

Age group of the people surveyed is important. Adult means above 18 years. I think those who frequently use the search engines should be surveyed to get a clear picture.
