According to Nielsen/NetRatings the top five search engines share a combined growth rate of 15% in the third quarter of 2005. While general web searches showed a slightly smaller increase overall at 14.2%, Image search surged a whopping 36.6% increase.
News and shopping showed the smallest amount of growth, 12.7% and 9.8% respectively, however I’m sure the numbers for shopping will show in increase in Q4, with the Christmas holiday season in full swing.
Local search showed a solid 19.2% gain, proving that more and more people are going to search engines rather than the phone book to fine something in their geographical area.
