Meanwhile, Microsoft’s Live Search accounted for 3.4 per cent of the market and Ask took in 2.4 per cent.
AOL’s acquisition of UK social networking site Bebo saw it expand its share of the search queries market to 2.3 per cent, which meant that fellow social networking site Facebook came in sixth place with a total share of 2.2 per cent.
