It's interesting to note that Yahoo are the only search engine I've come across who have published not only a list of top 10 search queries for 2009, but also a 'top 10 business success related' queries. That's about the closest I've come to finding insight into business search trends from the search giants. The list is as follows:
1. Facebook
2. Twitter
3. Hulu
4. Bing
5. iPhone
6. LinkedIn
7. Dollar Stores
8. Palm Pre
9. Rosetta Stone
10. Kindle
It's no surprise to see social networking sites Facebook and Twitter at the top but let's be honest, this list still doesn't even touch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to analysing business search from the previous year. It's just another sign that if you're a business looking for information online, search engines are not catering for your needs. Oh and just so you know, swine flu and Susan Boyle were this years top breaking stories...sigh.
