comScore, Inc., a global leader in measuring the digital world, recently released the August U.S. Search Engine Rankings. As expected, Google Sites remained the top search property with more than 5.5 billion core searches conducted, representing a 56.5 percent share of the search market and gaining 1.3 share points versus the previous month.

Yahoo! Sites ranked second with 23.3 percent, followed by Microsoft Sites (11.3 percent), Time Warner Networks (4.5 percent) and Ask Network (4.5 percent). Time Warner Network was the only other core search engine property to increase share, up 0.1 share point to 4.5 percent, with 441 million searches.

In comScore’s recently introduced expanded search report, the largest gains were recorded by YouTube and Craigslist, with 9.0-percent and 7.6-percent increases in their number of search queries. Get more details here

While these monthly stats offer good insights, it would be better if comScore can highlight some key factors affecting the monthly trends. I guess this is an overkill for something free.
