Yahoo has
increased its share of the US search engine market for the
fifth month in a row, while Google saw its share drop slightly last
month.
According to market research firm Comscore, Yahoo again enjoyed
a slight increase in its share of the market, going up half a point
to 21%.
Google, on the other hand, saw its still dominant hold on the
market slip half a point to 63%.
Yahoo's steady improvement in the US search engine market may
yet encourage Microsoft to make another move on Yahoo, after
bringing to an end its acquisitive circling around the firm last
year.
