Over the years I have tried to keep some statistics on my* searching. I have, for instance, tried to see how many search terms are "needed." I found that the improvement in quality of the search result falls sharply after increasing beyond four terms. I am told that the average Google search is three words/terms long.
Of course there may well be some dependence on subject matter and the search engine used.
