Yahoo Search recorded a slight monthly improvement to see its market share reach 4.09 per cent. However, this represents a massive decline from 8.59 per cent last year.
This trend is reflected by search rivals MSN Search, which dropped from 5.46 per cent to 3.72 per cent, and Ask, which now has 3.07 per cent compared to 4.96 per cent in May 2007.
Google is in a far less dominant position in the US, where it only serves 68.29 per cent of online searches.
