Okay, so Google is the global leader:
Around the world, Internet users are conducting about 1.4 million searches every minute — most of them through Google Inc., a new comScore study estimates.
But there can be dramatic regional differences:
Baidu.com Inc. is strong enough in China and NHN Corp. in South Korea to crack the global top five in comScore Inc.’s inaugural report on worldwide search patterns.
More global tidbits:
Yahoo Inc. was second worldwide with 8.5 billion, followed by Baidu at 3.3 billion, Microsoft Corp. at 2.2 billion and NHN at 2 billion.
And back in Europe:
Europe and Latin America tend to have more searches conducted per person. Ivins said Internet penetration in those markets grew as search technology was already developed, unlike in the United States where human-powered directories were initially strong.
