New Google

In 2007, 25% of all queries that searchers entered into the Google search box was never seen by Google before. That figure changed to 15% in 2013 and has remained at that figure according to Google even through today.

Google reconfirmed the 15% figure in 2017 and 2018 and now again in 2020.
