The chart below shows the number of searches per year throughout Google’s history:

Let me give you a brief idea about what does a search query means?

Search Queries – The words and phrases that people type into a search box in order to pull up a list of results – come in different flavors.

It is commonly accepted that there are three different types of search queries:

1. Navigational search queries
2. Informational search queries
3. Transactional search queries

I will give you just a brief idea along with a graphical example for types of searches so that it becomes easy and time-saving for you to traverse this whole blog.

1. Navigational Search Queries

A navigational query is a search query entered in Google or any other search engine with the intent of finding a specific website or webpage.

For example, if a user wants to shop an electric appliance, cell phone etc…he might enter “best buy” into Google’s search bar to find the Best Buy website rather than entering the URL into a browser’s navigation bar or using a bookmark.

2. Informational Search Queries

Queries that cover a broad topic (e.g., how to bathe a puppy) for which there may be thousands of relevant results.

When someone enters an informational search query into Google or another search engine, they’re looking for information that can help in any manner. They are probably not looking for a specific site, as in a navigational query, and they are not looking to make a commercial transaction. They just want to answer a question or learn how to do something.

3. Transactional Search Queries

A transactional search query is a query that indicates an intent to complete a transaction, such as making a purchase.

Transactional search queries may include exact brand and product names (like “pink iphone 5 case”) or actually include terms like “buy,” “purchase,” or “order.”

It means a user is there for any transaction & they’re at the business end of the conversion funnel.
