Google is followed by China’s Baidu with 8.2% worldwide market share, Yahoo! with 4.9% and Yandex with 2.8%.
In comparison, despite spending millions of dollars in advertising, Microsoft’s Bing only claims around 2.5%.
Yandex has come to dominate the Russian-language search market with an estimated marketshare of 62%, compared to just 26% for Google.
