Google maintains search lead; Microsoft languishes E-mail

Google is maintaining its firm grip on the US search market, accounting for almost half of searches performed during February. Yahoo is a poor second, with Microsoft a distant third.

The figures come from comScore, which monitors a panel of more than two million users worldwide, though these particular results apply only to the US market.

Google handled 48.1 percent or 3.3 billion searches during February - up 0.6 points on January. Yahoo held steady on 28.1 percent (2.0 billion searches), while Microsoft lost ground slightly with 730 million (5 percent, down 0.2 points).

Both Ask and Time Warner slid back during February, to 5 percent (-0.2 points) and 4.9 percent (-0.1 point) respectively.

Americans conducted 6.9 billion searches online in February, up 1 percent versus January and 19 percent versus February 2006, comScore reported.{moscomment}
