She ran a survey and Google users told her they wanted 30 results in the Google search results page.

This is only one piece of the puzzle. G has that as well as the most relevant search index, at least until recently. The other search players are definitely catching up to and may possibly surpass Google in the relevance department in the near future. Microsoft seems to have taken notice regarding the simple design & fast user experience. http://www.live.com Google wasn’t the first to offer such a simple design with the goal of fast results for the end user.

Not necessarily the most full featured in any one area, but definitely reliably fast and faster than the competition in a lot of cases.
