With your mind free of keyword limitations you generate much more English queries than what you would use if you used Google or Live. Hence 50% with English promoted is practical. As an example, with Google or Live my Bollywood query may be shah rukh khan movies but with Hakia you may do list all Shah Rukh Khan movies lish all Shah Rukh Khan movies with heroine Kajol list all Shar Rukh Khan movies in which he is a bad character you may fill in your favorite Hollywood artist instead of Bollywood's Shah Rukh Khan I have not tried these on Hakia. I am going to. To add to my previous comment, there are some queries which are totallly impractical or not even thought of when your mind thinks keywords.

I used the procedure provided by Microsoft. I dumped Google and Live for Hakia. What I found is that when I think in English and use English (rather than keywords) I find Hakia right on to the result I want. With Hakia alone, I will see the on the horizon the English use to be above 10% after 2 years. With Hakia acquired today by Google or Microsoft and English use actively promoted, I think that English use may reach over 50% after 2 years.
