Hi John - Just took the survey, it's well-composed and pretty comprehensive, but I have to say I agree with Fernando, I'm aware it may be too late to alter the survey but I think item on search engines one uses to find information on APIs. Whereas I might find information about an API on a blog, etc. - if I was *looking* for information on an API that could do x thing - I would definitely be using a search engine.
