February search results show that Bing continues to grow as Yahoo sags. comScore reported that usage of Bing went up from 11.3% in January to 11.5% in February, while Yahoo�s stats during the same period dropped to 16.8% from 17%. Google�s stats remained essentially unchanged.
comScore also has mentioned that the total US search volume has increased 10.4% in February 2010 for YoY data. Other search engines like Ask lost 0.1% to end up at 3.7% and AOL stayed flat at 2.5% market share.
Bing has shown a decline in search market only once since it has launched, however, this could be attributed to their recent deal with Yahoo. However, Microsoft has not been able to make a dent into Google�s market share and has been consistently eating into that of Yahoo.
It will be interesting to see how the search market pans out in the next 3-4 months and whether Bing is able to snatch some share from Google. Consider that Microsoft is pouring pocketfuls of money into advertising Bing, it is high time that they start seeing some good results too.
