Microsoft in January nabbed 11.3 percent of the searches in the United States, grabbing market share from market leader Google and sinking search rival Yahoo. comScore claimed Google notched 65.4 percent of U.S. searches, down from 65.7 percent through December 2009. Yahoo claimed an even 17 percent of the market, down from its 17.3 percent share from December. Each month that Yahoo slides in search places greater importance on the company’s deal to let Bing power its search results on the back end. In this arrangement, Microsoft will take ownership of Yahoo’s search and boost Bing’s search share to 28 percent of the market.
