Search Engine Market Share

On January 27, 2014 / search engines / 1 Comment

Search engine market share- Google then Bing and then YahooWe haven’t reported on the respective market share among the three top search engines for more than a year and a half, and we see most trends continuing. About three years ago Google had 64% of all US searches, Yahoo had 16% and Bing had 14%. That changed n 2012 when Google’s share improved to 66%, Bing improved  to 15% and Yahoo dropped to 13%, their lowest share of the market yet. That moved Bing into second place for the first time.

Google & Bing Up, Yahoo Down  — Again

Now Google’s share has improved to almost 67%, Bing is up to 18% and Yahoo is down to 11%, their lowest share of the market yet. Ask has about 2½ % of the search market and AOL continues to come in at about 1½%. So the big three still monopolize search and their share has increased over the past year and a half, from 94% to 96%. That’s why in our reporting, we don’t bother with rankings other than at Google, Yahoo & Bing.

Ask.com Gets a Good Review

On April 4, 2006 / search engines / Leave a Comment

The search engine Ask Jeeves has been reinvented, and has lost poor old Jeeves in the process. Recently, Walt Mossberg, technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal, wrote:

“Ask.com is starting from a low ranking. According to a recent study, Ask has only about 6% of the search market, compared with 41% for Google and 29% for Yahoo. Yet, Ask.com is improving fast, and is capable of playing above its ranking. …

Ask’s search-results pages are richer and better organized than typical Google results, and they give greater priority to content over ads. …

Google usually did a good job, but Ask usually did just as well, and its added features made the results more valuable. In a search for a particular digital camera, Ask’s page was topped by a picture of the camera, with links to reviews and price comparisons. Google’s page was topped by ads, followed by links to specific shopping sites. …”

[Update 2021] It looks like Ask.com represents significantly less than 1% of search engine market share these days.
