Any ideas on how big the UK search inventory per month is, in terms of unique users and searches made.
Lets not try and start slagging people off and instead try and work out the numbers based on the following criteria:
1, UK home or business users.
2, Using ANY method "google.co.uk or .com etc"
so in other words even a user to yahoo.com from the UK would be counted.
My personal "guesstimate" is around 30 million searches a day, which means around 900 million searches a month
but thats just an un-educated guess, based on experience and some inside figures from good looking women at various organisations.
anyone?

Extrapolating my own figures and combining them with some Alexa data, I would say that Google.co.uk gets around 18M+ searches per day. That is the top search destination in the UK specifically.
Google.com probably gets a lot more than that from the UK, because most people don't specify the '.co.uk'. We should also remember that an average Google user probably does 3-5 searches per day (they have an average of 8.4 pages per user on Alexa).
However, the numbers might be skewed by people making Google their home page and so on. Too hard to tell really, but I think that your estimate is probably a little low.
I would have to disagree with the above statement, based on my own stats for a UK tageted domain. I would say people are getting better at searching and that more and more these days are using the UK only results option. I would also guess that the 2 will change position in the near future.
