I guess we all kinda knew that, but it's always nice to have a study backing your opinions.

The main thing that got me switching to Google back then wasn't the better results, but their promise not to collect or use our data.

That all changed after 9/11, but by then Google had grown so huge it was hard to avoid them.

Even so, I still went back to Webcrawler and the others quite a lot and never really consistently used one search engine faithfully.
