[Cristian_25H]

According to comScore, the month of January has seen all major players in the US Internet search market keep the positions held at the end of 2012. Still, there have been small changes as Google increased its share to 66.2% (66.1% in the previous month) while Yahoo dropped a little, from 16.2% in December to 16.0%.

Following Google and Yahoo was Microsoft with a 13.8% market share, while on the fourth and fifth places in January's top we have Ask and AOL with 2.6% and 1.4%, respectively. Almost 20 billion core search queries were conducted in the US in January.

the only case I've seen people using Ask is when they didn't realize their search bar has been changed by a "free" program they recently installed.

I'm surprised so many people still use yahoo, microsoft I can understand as its the default search in IE.

Well i used to love Yahoo search but since MS got involved with them it has gone down hill. I used to be able search on there and get what i wanted without any issue but like yesterday i did a normal search and ended up on a game \ app crack site.

And as for bing it's like my ass most of the time giving out shit.

And i would use a OTHER before using Google..
