Nielson/Net Ratings has released new search engine statistics for May 2008. Google has increased its market share over the Nov 2007 search engine results we posted last year. Google pulled ahead a little farther from 57.7 to 59.3 for a 1.6% increase in market share. Google captured just over 4.7 billion searches in May alone. There were over 7.8 billion searches performed in May.
| Search Engine | Share of Searches |
|---|---|
| 59.3% | |
| Yahoo | 16.9% |
| MSN | 13.3% |
| AOL | 4.1% |
Google seems to keep edging ahead in the search engine race, but it looks like msn's move to "Live" has been beneficial as they gained a little as well.

Good stats, thank you for sharing. However, I was not sure if this is the usage in the US alone or all over the world.
