Default Use of Quote Marks
Has anyone seen data on the number (or percent) of users that use quote marks when searching?

Thanks!

A Jacob Nielson article into usability states 3% use quotes to enhance their search results. You can see this here

Looks like it is more experienced search engine users that would use quotes to help with searches.
