How can there possibly be only 200m searches per day? I must use Google at least a hundred times daily, probably more. There's not even two million people like that already, in the whole Earth?
- gravitycop 18y agoHere's more data. I think this is just for the U.S.: http://news.cnet.com/8300-1023_3-93.html http://news.cnet.com/8300-1023_3-93.html Google's searches rose 21.7 percent, for 64.1 percent market share, and Yahoo's searches dropped 1.4 percent from November 2007, for 16.1 percent share. Total searches for the month exceeded 8 billion, up 9.6 percent from a year earlier. [...] Correction at 5:50 a.m. Monday: This story had an incorrect total for U.S. searches in November. The total was 12.3 billion. [...] Google grabbed a chunk of market share from rival search engines in the United States in November, new figures from ComScore show. [...] The total searches performed dropped 3 percent to 12.3 billion, though, so even Google lost out in absolute terms even as it gained share. - Dividing by 30 days, that would be 410 million searches per day, in the U.S. For ~200 million internet users, that would be 2 searches per user per day.
