Google continues to surge ahead in the search space, more than doubling its second quarter earnings, recording record market share and announcing a new search tool for the visually impaired.

On the earnings front, Google posted US$721 million net earnings, up from $343 million for the same quarter in 2005, while revenues of US$2.46 billion were up a remarkable 77%.

To add to its good fortune, Google was found to increase its global internet search market share to 62%, up from 55%, according to web analytics firm ComScore Networks. In contrast, Yahoo' search share fell from 22% to 20%, while Microsoft  slipped from 10% to 9%, according to ComScore.

As the icing on the cake in a satisfying day, Google announced a new version of its search engine for visually impaired. The product, called Accessible Serach, aims to enable people with bad eyesight to get to easily readable sites quickly without having to wade through a lot of hard to read sites. .
