      why would one search for orkut, gmail, yahoo.. etc?
      well probably this is just the default “I’m Feeling lucky search” in firefox’s address bar. people just type in “gmail” and then a search is called which takes them to gmail.com or ..

      this is not a search actually. you really can’t be sure of any trends from this.. in fact people are too sure that just typing in gmail wil take them to gmail.com, so why bother(take the pain) to type full address or even press ctrl+enter.

        You would be surprised how many people use Google as their address bar. My wife does it all the time. Kinda drives me nuts. She’ll type the website in the search bar instead and click on the link that comes up after the search. seems like an extra step to me, but to each his own!

      This is very odd. There must be something amiss. May be naman has a point.

      Searching for “google” (#4) on Google is highly meta, and ought to give some interesting results!
