Bing already claimed its title because the world’s second favorite search engine, but within the US it has continued to lag in third place behind Yahoo!. The distance is closing rapidly, however, with ComScore’s latest stats revealing a fifteen.0 percent share for Redmond versus Yahoo!’s 15.1 percent. What’s more, those figures don’t reflect mobile search, which must surely be a growth area for Bing as Windows Phone gathers American followers . Meanwhile, Ask Network remains static in fourth place and AOL (Engadget’s parent company) comes a far off fifth — even though it did show a bit growth spurt between October and November, taking 1.6 percent of the 17.8 billion recorded searches and pretending to not notice Google way up there on top. Full ranking after the break.
