I would wager that a non-trival subset of users in fact do use natural language in searches, especially in the context of the 5 w's; "what is...", "where is...", "when is...", etc. These aren't technically more difficult to understand than your average search query and I would imagine with the volume of google's searches, they do a good job of dealing with these types.
- lena 17y agoI have a weight loss website. While most people arrive at my site with queries like "calories in apple pie", a significant number of people use queries like "how many calories do i burn by doing the dishes?" I never see double quotes or +/- signs in the queries.
