SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Google Inc.'s share of the U.S. Internet
search market dipped a full percentage point in July when compared to
June's total, according to research released Friday by comScore
Networks Inc.
While Google's (GOOG : news, chart, profile ) still the dominant
provider of Internet search both in the U.S. and worldwide, what
comScore noted Friday has some ominous overtones for the Mountain View,
Calif.-based firm, Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. analyst Robert Peck wrote in
a note to clients Friday.
"We think (the) loss in domestic market share could signal a topping
point" for Google, he wrote. "We do not expect Google's aggressive
market share gains to continue in perpetuity."
According to comScore, 43.7% of all search queries conducted in the
United States in July used a Google search engine, down from the 44.7%
attributed to Google the month before.
Meanwhile, Google's loss was its competitors' gain.
ComScore reports No. 2 Internet search engine Yahoo Search, from Yahoo
Inc., (YHOO : news, chart, profile ) saw its share of U.S. Internet
search queries increase to 28.8% in July from 28.5% the month before.
Meanwhile search engine AOL's U.S. share was up to 5.9% in July from
the 5.6% it garnered in June, comScore notes.
Also soaking up Google's U.S. losses was Ask, owned by IAC Search &
Media (IACI : news, chart, profile ) . The Ask search engine's U.S.
market share rose to 5.4% in July from 5.1% in June, comScore reported.

No. 3 search engine MSN from Microsoft Corp. (MSFT : news, chart,
profile ) retained its 12.8% share of the U.S. market in July, comScore
reported.
