Hello all,

Here we go for a new statistics report. Enjoy.

We've seen an important increase now for the 4th week in a row. Since 
December, the searches have almost doubled... My statistics tool being 
OpenOffice.org, I will soon start to get into trouble since per sheet 
there are "only" 32,000 lines. We are now at... 29,780!

Total Searches         29780    100%
   0 result              1523      5%
   1-15 results          5554     19%
   16-30 results         2143      7%
   31+ results           5150     17%
   QuickLink            15408     52%

>   QuickLink            14264     51%

In the long run, we can notice a slight increase of the QuickLink usage 
and of 31+ results, while 0-30 results slightly decrease.

This week, while keeping its legendary stability, the advanced form lost 
some country searches. There are even less (in absolute numbers) than we 
had last week.

There have been quite some changes in the category top 10 this week. 
After rising one notch last week, Music fell down two notches this week, 
in favor of General. Academic/Programming as well as Undefined/Mozilla 
swapped. No new entry in this top 10, which is not surprizing, as we've 
seen the stability of the categories over the past weeks.

The usage of the cache has slightly increased and the preprocessing 
filter caught a few more strings to convert this week, but overall, no 
change here.

Leo is really really getting a dangerous challenger for Altavista. And 
notice how google came close to dictionary again? I'm expecting some 
hard fights in the top 2 next week... To note: once again, imdb is on 
rank 4. We can call it the imdb-rank, since it always stayed there. magic?

This week is a bad week for this top 3. Shockwave and Quicktime have 
nothing to do here. Sorry for those who "lost" their time looking for 
browser plugins. Mapquest is more understandable, but sorry, it doesn't 
make sense with a multiple field input.

Do you notice that we have the same top 10 like 2 weeks ago? ebay got 
back it's rank#5 which it lost last week, and alltheweb its rank#8 which 
it lost last week as well.

New challenger, this week is vivisimo... again. Who is going to make it 
in the top 9 first: vivisimo or leo?
