Yahoo loses a bit

comScore's first search share report of the year looks a lot like the last report of last year, except that only Yahoo is a loser.

In January, Yahoo lost 0.7 percent of the search market, dropping from 22.9% share to 22.2%.

Everybody's favorite juggernaut? Google picked up part of what Yahoo dropped—a small part. Google's share of the search market increased from 58.4% to 58.5%.

It's not good or bad news for Microsoft, holding on to its 9.8%. What Microsoft also didn't do was grab any of Yahoo's droppings. Instead, it was AOL and Ask.com, grabbing 0.3% and 0.2% respectively, climbing up to 4.9% and 4.5%.

High stock prices

When google prices went up and up and up, everyone was waiting for things to go down. So, it's not surprising that Google now has got high stock prices as compared to Yahoo . Looking at the numbers, it gets kinda stressful at the end of the month for the no. 2, and no.3 search engines to guess if they are losing or adding their market shares in the next report
