Search Engine Wars: Google
   Thumps Yahoo, MSN
Yes, I am surprised. My previous statistics were evidently a
 bit outdated as I had the search engine war between the
  Big 3 Providers -- Google, Yahoo, and MSN -- running a
  tight 1-2-3. Indeed, it must have been early in 2005 the
  last time I bothered to look at the statistics, but at that
 time my stats showed that Google controlled 36% while
        Yahoo and MSN were running at 33% and 32%
  respectively. Yes, the statistics total to more than 100%
 since they include those people who use more than one
    search engine [in this case they are counted twice].
Google is the Internet's most-used search engine, with a
  45.1% share of searches in September, according to
 market tracker Nielsen/NetRatings. Yahoo (YHOO) had
          23.3% and MSN 11.7%, says Nielsen.
To put it bluntly, only Yahoo is in the game and MSN is
 quickly fading to irrelevancy. How can I say this? Because
when I do searches of key words that I frequently check up
on including, Corporate Flight Attendant Community, I find
                some vastly different results.
With MSN, the search results yielded 3117 results, with
Yahoo 326, and with Google 9850. What is apparent to me
is that Google is doing the best job of indexing pages while
  the other two are way behind. I will give MSN credit for
   the recent leap in the number of results for Corporate
   Flight Attendant Community, but several of the results
were for pages I deleted months, even years ago! Overall, I
    believe Yahoo harnesses their popular Yahoo Groups,
    Hotjobs, and other key features to give them a search
                   engine edge over MSN.
Do you, Yahoo? I don't... now you understand why.
