Which Search Engine Gets the Most Requests?
The Nielsen/NetRatings reports that during June of 2005 Google ranked #1 of all searches conducted online with 47% of the searches. Yahoo! followed next with 22%, and MSN was third with 12%. From the first quarter of 2005 to the second, both Google and Yahoo! had single-digit growth in their search requests at 6% and 9% respectively. In a surprise twist, however, both AOL and Ask Jeeves showed double-digit growth at 15% and 16% respectively, almost three times the growth of Google. MSN searches actually dropped by 4%, but (as mentioned) was still third with 12% of the searches.
