Searching The Web: A Guessing Game That Frustrates Users
A recent survey found that 71% of Internet users say they get frustrated when searching the web. It takes only 12 minutes for your users to feel this frustration. Users are frustrated because search engines are unable to find the information they are looking for resulting in a guessing game.

Studies show thumbshots help your users increase satisfaction and reduce frustration when searching the Internet.
