>I think it's because I can see & sift many results, and because I can easily iterate on my query
Absolutely. In fact sometimes I'm searching for something, whether in a search engine, at an ecommerce site, or whatever and I'm not getting what I want immediately. If I'm on a phone or tablet, I'll often grab a nearby laptop because it's just faster and easier to do a lot of typing and clicking on. (Less true with more recent tablets but my basic point is that there's sometimes a lot of fast iteration when I'm trying to find the answer to something non-obvious.)
