As far as some of the comments about what to do with this information; I take it as a good sign that there is an opportunity here. Search is primarily a lead-acquisition tool, getting new customers to your site. Email should be used primarily as a remarketing and customer relationship management tool. That being said, they are complementary apps, both taking one side of the conversion process. If you are smart and have the technology (web analytics integrated with ESP) you can start optimizing this relationship by customizing email based on search behavior. For instance, create email touches that are contextually relevant to the search engine and search term the individual has used in the past.

i can do one seach every day and spend 30 seconds on it

i can do emailing everyday and spend 30 minutes.

However, I’m pretty sure I check email about 5 to 1 or better compared to initiating a search with any intention of going through a search results list.

An even more interesting comparison, IMHO, would be the odds of clicking through to a second page of search results versus repeat-searching with modified terms.
