Google remains the No. 1 search engine in the World
The Web statistics software provider OneStat.com reports that Google now has a global average usage share of 55.2 percent.
According to OneStat the seven largest search engines on the Web are:
Google 55.2%
Yahoo! 21.7%
MSN Search 9.6%
AOL Search 3.8%
Terra Lycos 2.6%
Altavista 2.2%
Ask Jeeves 1.5%
Given that Google actually powers most of the various national incarnations of Yahoo! and AOL, between 70 and 80 percent of all search results are fetched from the Google database.
All numbers are an average of the last 2 months. Research is based on a sample of 2 million visitors divided into 20,000 visitors of 100 countries each day. There are no major changes compared to the previous measurement.
