Nielsen releases U.S. search engine market share figures According to the latest data from research firm Nielsen, Google continues to be the dominant force in the search engine market, controlling 67.3 percent share in December.
For the month, a total of 9.9 billion queries were made, with Google taking about 6.7 billion of them. Yahoo remained in second, with 1.4 billion queries, for 14.4 percent share. Bing, Microsoft's latest incarnation, has 9.9 percent share. AOL, Ask, My Web and Comcast took the next few spots for a combined 5.7 percent share.

From November, Yahoo and Bing dropped about a percentage point a piece, which was apparently taken over by Google, which moved up two percent.

manrod, I am sure they know on some level but they live in the land of make believe. They only time they made great software was when they gave the programmers software bonuses. Now they are just warm bodies. All the smarts comes from management these days. I hate bing and most everything else they have done this century.
