Over 1400 people took the 40-question survey and the results were very enlightening. When the participants of the survey were asked the question, "would you ever consider a B2B purchase" over, ninety percent agreed to check out prices online. They all agree that the prices online are very competitive compared to offline stores and some even offer an Internet discount. When asked whether they would ever use a B2B search engine, over ninety-five percent said yes. This is the twenty first century, and the technology age. They agreed that using a search engine is faster and more cost efficient. Also 63.9 percent of the participants would use a search engine instead of any manufacturing, e-commerce and any industry sites. More information can be found by using a search engine.

Instead of finding a select few companies using the traditional methods, by using a search engine, businesses can be found all over the world. This increases e-commerce and forms new business relationships. In the end over 86 percent of the participants did agree to the fact that prices of regular portals have gone up, using search engines are free, and virtually anything can be found on the Internet.
