Feb Seach Engine Market Share

Today, ComScore released its search engine market share numbers for February 2010, and to be honest, there wasn’t much movement. Google and Bing both gained a little ground: Google’s market share rose 0.1 percentage point from 65.4% to 65.5% while Bing’s share gained 0.2% rising from 11.3% to 11.5%. Yahoo and Ask both gave up a little bit of the search pie: Yahoo declined from 17% to 16.8% and Ask fell slightly from 3.8% to 3.7% market share.  AOL’s slice of search remained unchanged at around 2.5%. We’ve got the full report, and all the insipid details that go with it, linked up for you.

    Who the hell uses AOL search?

    • BBSwany

      My sentiment exactly.. The question should be, who’s stuck in 1995. “You’ve got mail!”

    • ~phel

      Grandparents…

    • Sonya

      Just what I was thinking. I just went on there to see how it is, terrible news feeds and the search engine is enhanced by Google, so why not just use Google?

  • ChocoTaco

    As far as financials go, Yahoo is awesome, but I’ve always despised their search engine. Nothing is going to topple Google anytime in the near future, but I see Bing surpassing Yahoo to become the #2 search engine. I’ve never been to Bing.

    • StevenGlansburg

      Yahoo Sports is actually a pretty good source too if you’re into up to date baseball and football info.

      • Jarred

        Are you the real Steven???

        Jarred go away! Go eat a fucken subway or something.

      • Jarred

        Fuck you Batman, Superman will fuck yo’ ass up!

      • Superman

        I here to fuck Batman Up

      • Batman

        I bet superman would love to have his way with me, just like you would like to have your way with steve.

      • Channan

        HAHA! Cursing was unnecessary, but still hilarious.

        Google Calendar now offers sports schedules and scores as a pre-made Calendar, just pick your favorite team and their schedule will be added as a Calendar on your account, and scores update live on the Calendar. It’s actually pretty nifty, they just need to integrate all this into the mobile version…

      • LaToya (AKA Digital Nightmare)

        @Rahul, boy I was scrolling so fast, I thought your name said RuPaul! LOL.

      • Marc

        Their fantasy sports is the best I’ve used.

  • Anonymous

    The chart makes it seem like Google is going to eat the others ala Pac-Man.

    • Rahul

      lol, what makes you so sure that they’re not? ;)

  • AusFest

    YaaaaGOOOOOOGLE!

  • StevenGlansburg

    Im the real steve yo!

  • Flixoman

    I have odds that the only reason Bing is showing up there is with people upgrading to Windows 7…or finally upgrading from IE6. Default search is Bing…until I go change it to Google.

    • ~phel

      Or the video search populates thumbnails of the videos that you can watch in screen…think porn

    • Channan

      I tried Bing. It isn’t bad. But frankly, I’m just used to Google. If I had to choose another search engine, though, I’d pick Bing.

  • IT&T

    Who The hell puts yahoo on an android phone? oh yeah , It&t does.

  • Tdot34

    AOL is still around? let alone has 2.5% market share. Glad they stopped sending those damn CD’s in the mail with Free minutes of internet.

    • QuickWeevil

      Nice, old school… I remember those days… Our first dial-up connection was long-distance so we couldn’t stay on lone… :(

  • Dara

    I’m a bit dissapointed in yahoo. They managed to beat google to market by about 6 months with a mobile voice search app, but never got anywhere with it.

  • Lars

    yay Google…f*ck Bang

  • Tim

    I’m pretty sure those figures are bullshit. See here:

    http://gs.statcounter.com/#search_engine-ww-monthly-200902-201003

    Google has 90% market share. That aligns more with what I see people using in real life…

  • anonymous-x

    you know it’s good to see upcoming new products. now I use Google search but I’ve never used an Android, all my phones have been Windows this I trust. It’s good to see so many hollering for Android but don’t you see the newness & trouble that system is having? You better be careful…

  • anonymous-x

    Yo Steve I hope your feeling better.

  • Naveen

    I try using bing but their results are off at times. Yahoo sports and finance are very good! If google’s GUI was better, nothing else would be out there.

  • jawman

    wtf is AOL?

    /sarcasm.

    seriously, people still use that garbage?

  • http://n/a bigone

    wow i didn’t even know that ask was still around….i mean when you think about whenever someone asks a question that wants an answer what do you say…just google it you don’t say yahoo, bing, aol, or ask it! i really only know 1 person who uses aol and they’re in their early 60′s how many other people on here use any other search engine as their primary other than google?

  • nemo

    Bing ain’t bad – I’m using it as my default search engine in Firefox on an old XP desktop.

    Seems – Google is static with its share – Bing is eating into other players’ market and slowly but surely moving up.
    On some cases Bing is getting even better than Google – its just that Google has dominated the traffic for so long that advertizers must be little apprehensive to put their money on Bing. Once, it is established that Bing can contunuously match Google and can compete with it – the Search Market will see lots of shifting going around.

    • Den

      Although I will admit that Bing is gaining in market share, they are only taking from Yahoo and Ask. Not a lot of scraps in those markets. Google continues to gain and has much larger market share on other sites.

      Bing was probably termed the “Google-Killer” in development kind of like the way they termed the (hold on a second . . . have to look it up) Zune the “iPod-Killer”.

      I don’t think Google needs to stay up late at night worrying about being murdered by Bing.

  • Discohero

    I still get better (in terms of relevance) results from Google search. In terms of relevance I would even say that Yahoo edges out Bing from my experience. Bing sometimes returns results that surprise me in terms of how irrelevant they are until you get to 2nd page or so.

  • Darryl Vaughn

    Of course Google is #1, no surprise. I’m sure Bing will become #2 soon. I actually like using thier search. Especially the homepage. :)

  • JAMES

    I wish apple would buy their own search engine to compete against google, AOL or Yahoo come to mind.

    • Tdot34

      Yea but the only results, would be results that Steve Jobs would personally approve. Then you would have to purchase access to that page via iTunes.

      • jawman

        The scary thing is he’s not even being sarcastic either…

        well mostly.
