Google gained 0.3% to claim 67% of the search engine searches. Microsoft trails WAY behind with 16.5% and Yahoo with 12.1%. Technically Yahoo and Bing are both driven by the Bing search engine but stats are apparently still kept separate.<\/p>\n<p>Overall there were approximately 19.5 Billion searches conducted in January, which was an overall increase of 11%. Google captured 13.1 Billion of those searches, also up 11% from December 2012.<\/p>\n<p>Worldwide Google is still the hands down winner with 65.2% of the searches in the World in December 2012. The Chinese Baidu search engine comes in second with only 8.2%. The rest are Yahoo (4.9%), India&#8217;s Yandex (2.8%), Microsoft (2.5%), and Other at 16.3% total. The news here is that Yandex jumped ahead of Microsoft for the first time.<\/p>\n<p>If you only count UNIQUE searchers then Google leads the World by a whopping 76.6% of the searches.<\/p>\n<p>Now, what does all of that mean, other than proving to you that I&#8217;m impressed by stats?
