Google maintains its lead in the Internet search market, and has recently been winning more of the market share, away from competitors Yahoo and Microsoft, based on the latest data.
ComScore Networks, the Internet traffic monitor, issued a research report Monday that about 60.3 percent of all Internet searches in February were made using Google, up about 0.3 percent from January. Google, according to Bear Stearns analyst Robert Peck, got most of its new market share from customers of the Yahoo and MSN search engines.
ComScore adds that Google's growth in search queries in February was more than the overall market. The overall number of search queries grew by 32 percent but at Google, there was 60 percent more Internet search sessions in February than when compared to the same period a year ago.
