Google increased its dominance over Yahoo and Microsoft in search in April, grabbing 64.2 percent of the search queries in the U.S., up half a percentage point from March. Its closest competitors, Yahoo and Microsoft, each fell a ten of a percent to 20.4 percent and 8.2 percent respectively.
Normally, that would be good news, but with U.S. regulators looking for evidence that Google unfairly dominates search and online advertising, Google execs might have been happier with the status quo for a few months.
The stats include all of the major search engines and their assorted properties, such as their mapping services.
Oddly, searches on Facebook fell 28 percent in April.
