March Search Stats - Google still grows from last year

Nielsen has released the Search Statistics for March. No surprises… at least no big ones.

The biggest surprise is that Google remained stagnate at 58.7% when compared to the same statistics from February. But if you look at the same period last year, Google’s numbers go way up with an increase of 25.5%.

Yahoo! Search gained a bit from last month but saw a 4.5% decrease from last year. The third place still remains (and will probably remain) with MSN/Windows Live with a share of 12% (up 0.8% from last month).

From Nielsen-Online:

What strikes me in these numbers is, for example, the 130.5% yearly growth of AT&T Worldnet Search. It seems that users are trying to find alternatives to the big ones.

What do you make of the numbers? Everything as expected? Is your favorite search engine on the top 3?

  1. Hi … No suprises here :)
    I was just wondering if the list is completly accurate… I think ask.com searches are provided by google as well. Am I wrong about this?

    Cheers,
