●● Microsoft’s Search Efforts Descend Into Obscurity

Posted in Google, Microsoft, Search at 9:47 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Bing keeps falling, now as low as 5th, according to a Microsoft-friendly source

Microsoft’s partners at ComScore deliver some raw numbers which show Microsoft declining in search (we still have an issue with proxies and we challenged them over it, only to receive a weak response).

RUSSIAN SEARCH ENGINE Yandex surpassed Microsoft on the number of monthly search queries worldwide in November and December 2012, according to a recently released Comscore report.Microsoft websites processed 4.477 billion queries, while Yandex processed 4.844 billion.As you’d expect, Google still reigned supreme with 114.73 billion search queries and 65.2 percent market share. Chinese search giant Baidu was second globally with 14.5 billion and 8.2 percent, and Yahoo came in third with 8.63 billion and 4.9 percent.

Bong [sic], the latest of many names for Microsoft’s search, has hardly gotten press in recent years. It got a lot of publicity when Microsoft paid a lot of money for this publicity. It all clearly failed because Microsoft still loses billions of dollars online. █
