Pew – Search Engine Use 2012

Search Engine Use 2012, by Kristen Purcell, Joanna Brenner, Lee Rainie, Mar 9, 2012

  • “Even though online Americans are more satisfied than ever with the performance of search engines, strong majorities have negative views of personalized search results and targeted ads…Google continues to dominate the list of most used search engines. Asked which search engine they use most often, 83% of search users say Google. The next most cited search engine is Yahoo, mentioned by just 6% of search users. When we last asked this question in 2004, the gap between Google and Yahoo was much narrower, with 47% of search users saying Google was their engine of choice and 26% citing Yahoo.”
