This is probably a question that comes up periodically in this newgroup
but please don't be offended - as these things may change rapidly (and
as my newsgroup provider has just added this newsgroup to the server), I
would like to ask:

Which reliable statistics do you know of that shows the market shares of
the major search engines? (how many searches are done by each engine
etc.) Should be countryspecific to be of use.

Or, maybe you can just comment on this question: how dominant is Google?
I saw some figures that said that in the U.K. for example, MSN was
larger than Google. Don't know if this is true.

I have never come across anybody in the UK who uses MSN by principle. The
only exception I can think of are Hotmail users who are too lazy (or
ignorant) to navigate to google.co.uk. I think what you heard was
propaganda.
