Google search engine shares rose to 61.6% in the U.S. search marketplace. comScore, a global leader in measuring the digital world, have released their U.S. search rankings for the month of April. Google shares have increased 1.8% from last month’s stats. Its market share is now twice as much as that of Microsoft and Yahoo combined.

Ask Network and Amazon Sites saw a huge decrease in their market share. Ask Network lost 9% where as the later lost 8% of their U.S. userbase. Google CEO used to frequently say that Search is not a zero sum game. It looks from the current comScore numbers that it is turning out to be otherwise.
