Search Engine Searches* in thousands Share of Total Searches
Google Search 1,923,153 47%
Yahoo! Search 868,174 21%
MSN Search 523,188 13%
Total 4,085,880 81%

* Note: Searches are the total number of queries conducted at a search engine during the specified reporting period, excluding internal site searches.

"While it shouldn't surprise anyone that Google is the search engine to beat, it is critical that all of the major search players, including Google, recognize that they exclusively own only a minority of their users," said Ken Cassar, director of strategic analysis at Nielsen//NetRatings.
"This highlights an opportunity and a threat to all of the established players in the market, and underscores the importance of continued innovation in a highly competitive market that is anything but mature."

However, NetRatings did find some differences in consumer loyalty to the different search engines. Google users were found to show a higher degree of loyalty than users of other engines. Google shared approximately 58 percent of its visitors: 26 percent with Yahoo!, 19 percent with MSN, and 14 percent with both Yahoo! and MSN.

For its part, Yahoo! shared 71 percent of its traffic: 39 percent with Google, 11 percent with MSN, and 21 percent with both Google and MSN. MSN, meanwhile, shared 70 percent of its traffic: 33 percent with Google, 13 percent with Yahoo!, and 24 percent with both Google and Yahoo!

NetRatings also released the latest rankings of the leading search engines, measured in terms of search query volume for February 2005.

- Google took first place with a 47 percent of total searches, with 1.92 billion queries.

- Yahoo! came in second with 21 percent market share, based on roughly 870 million queries.

- MSN, meanwhile, came in third place with 13 percent market share, based on approximately 520 million search queries.
Please Note that some search engines own more than one web site.

This means searches at different sites may be combined into one overall figure for the company's entire search engine network. Here's a rundown with more details about these search engines:

 

bulletGoogle: 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. I'm checking on this and will update in the future.
 
bulletYahoo: Shows searches at any Yahoo-owned web site including those of AltaVista, AllTheWeb and Overture Search Engines.
 
bulletMSN: Shows searches at any MSN-operated web site such as MSN Search.
