The table and line graph illustrate data on internet searches in the United States from 2004 to 2010, focusing on the total number of searches and the percentage of searches conducted via different search engines.
Regarding the total number of US searches, the table shows a dramatic increase: from 4.5 million in November 2004 to 16 million in September 2010. This represents a more than threefold rise over the period.
Turning to the line graph, which depicts the market share of five search engines (Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, AOL, and Ask Jeeves), Google dominated throughout the period. In November 2004, its market share was around 36%, and it rose steadily—reaching approximately 62% by September 2010. In contrast, Yahoo’s share started at about 33% in 2004, declined gradually to around 22% by 2010, with minor fluctuations (e.g., a slight peak in mid-2007).
Microsoft maintained a relatively stable market share, hovering between 15% and 18% initially, then falling slightly to around 12–13% by 2010. AOL and Ask Jeeves had much smaller shares, with AOL’s share remaining below 10% (around 5–8%) and Ask Jeeves’ even lower (below 5%). Notably, AOL’s share decreased marginally, while Ask Jeeves’ share stayed almost constant, both remaining insignificant compared to Google and Yahoo.
