This study aimed to identify web searches for research and educational purposes. This raised concerns among education officials because some evidence suggests that the benefits of academic education do not offset the negatives of research and access to information on the web. A survey of 120 university students was conducted on their behavior in searching for information for research and educational purposes. We also studied how well students have access to information when using web searches and across 28 individual study sessions. Respondents rated their preferences for different sources of information using the 5-point Likert scale. Due to the equal exposure of the first five standard pages to study results during the study period, explicit and implicit feedback from students was used to assess the importance of study results. Among the most important findings of the study, most respondents announced that they use the Cockle search engine as an essential tool for searching for information only. About 60% of the results links clicked during the study period were found on two or more pages of search results, with no customization affecting the suitability of higher-rated search results. On the real scene page, 2 + search results get only about 10% of clicks. Students also explained their greater satisfaction with the appropriateness of non-personal search results on personal search results. These differences provided opportunities for lost information and biased opportunities for students to access information.
