WebProNews spoke with Hakia’s Chief Communications Officer, Rob Wyse, about the poll. Find out what he had to say along with the shocking results, only on WebProNews.

[...] This might be an answer to a recent poll conducted by Hakia which came out with the result, that 62 % of searchers don’t trust search engines. Of course Hakia is a search engine, too. But this engine does not place cookies on the user’s computer (without permission) and they are the very first to do so.

You should take a look at http://www.linguisticagents.com. It’s a start-up company that has developed a natural language understanding technology that will be used in many applications in addition to search.
I think hakia.com needs to focus more on the quality of their search results. In this way they will become a lot more useful to the surfers.
The sample size in this poll is far to small to matter at all.
