Keyword and Search Engines Statistics

Query Size By Country

The following table contains the percentage of single vs. multiple word searches in various languages.. It provides a good indication of the current search behaviour and how it differs in key regional markets.

For example, English users predominantly use 2 and 3 word search terms, with single keyword searches becoming less common. This information can help you target your keywords to the searching audience more effectively.

All figures are given as percentages and the data is compiled from searches done in the last month from the report date.
