Pretty impressive that one search engine dominates that much, with almost 45% difference between Google and Yahoo! Search. Guess the term “Google it” has become the de facto standard when it comes to searching for online material.
Hitwise also has other statistics, like “Top 20 Sites”, and “Top Search Terms”. It’s a pretty good overall list of commonly accessed websites during the month of May.
