I have a bunch of friends that know nothing about the internet workings so to speak.

All they know is Google, Facebook and MySpace.

When I go round to their houses or whatever and watch them type a search query it simply amazes me, even after all these years.

For example my friend Sarah she was looking for a new handbag so she went to Google and typed in some long ass string like "pink medium sized handbag with diamond flakes on the handle" (without quotes).

Of course, I got frustrated after she got to P4 on Google and finally found something that remotely matched her query.

It really is a good insight into how the "normal" internet user still works.

What OWG said is very true too lol.

Now whenever I have a client or a site I plan on building I simply ask my dumb friends to tell me what they would use as a search query and I "try" to incorporate that phrase into the body copy.

Sometimes it can be done but other times it's hit and miss because they type in something ridiculous.

I can't believe the still do that still after I have shown them how to search properly!!

Idiots lol.
