NetRatings: Google Tops 50 Percent Mark In US Web Searches
New stats (PDF) out from NetRatings show Google now handles half the web searches in the United States:
| Search Engine | April 2005 | April 2006 |
| 47% | 50% | |
| Yahoo | 22% | 22% |
| MSN | 12% | 11% |
Need a longer view? See our NetRatings page for stats over time. I'll be getting the missing months posted soon, promise. I'm also planning a side-by-side against comScore figures. The latest of those released earlier this week show Google with a smaller chunk of the search pie but still higher than others. Here's a fast side-by-side:
| April 2006 | comScore | NetRatings |
| 43% | 50% | |
| Yahoo | 28% | 22% |
| MSN | 13% | 11% |
Historical comScore figures are on our comScore page, fresh through March 2006.
