Business Europe.com (via SearchEngineLowdown): Consumers favour online searches, says poll

Three quarters of British people surveyed said they'd rather search via an online search engine than use a paper directory. Only 18 percent said they still relied on the traditional methods of looking up company information. Separately, another U.K. company found that 80 percent of Britons preferred to frequent U.K. online sites, mainly because they felt assured the transactions would conform to local trade laws.
