There are several search engines available on the Internet, but only a few are real contenders when it comes to reaching the masses.
Google leads the race as number one with Yahoo coming in a close second, and MSN, AOL, and Ask Jeeves trailing behind.
Below are figures about searching from qSearch figures released to the public.
Share Of Searches: July 2005
The pie chart below shows the percentage of searches done by US web surfers in July 2005 that were performed at a particular web site or a network of web sites:
Note that some companies own more than one web site. This means searches at different sites may be combined into one overall figure for the company's entire network. Here's a rundown with more details about this:
Google: Shows searches at any Google-owned web site such as Google.com or Google Image Search. May show searches at some Google partners that show Google's domain in the URLs of their search results, as happens with Go.com. Yahoo: Shows searches at any Yahoo-owned web site including those of AltaVista, AllTheWeb and Overture.
MSN: Shows searches at any MSN-operated web site such as MSN Search.
AOL: Shows searches at any Time Warner-owned web site, including AOL Search and Netscape Search.
Ask: Shows searches at Ask Jeeves and Ask Jeeves-owned Teoma and apparently at any site within the Ask Jeeves-owned Excite Network, including Excite, iWon, MyWay.com and My Web Search. Previously, comScore broke these out separately
Infospace: Shows searches at Infospace-owned web sites such at Dogpile but might not include searches at Excite, where Infospace actually owns the search box and searches at that site.
