Alternate search engines, some statistics.

With all the press releases over alternate search engines, I wondered what effect they have on the searching public. Are people trying these new alternatives to the majors like Google or Yahoo? For the most part, they aren't. It's too bad because there are some excellent search engines, especially some meta-search engines. These are the type that return the results of several search engines at once.

According to this article, there are very small numbers for alternate search choices. The major search engines are getting most search traffic and will probably continue to be for some time to come. It's even going to be difficult for Microsoft to break the hold that Google and Yahoo have right now.
