Yahoo saw 5.6 billion searches in the second quarter, marking a 21 percent increase from the same time last year, while MSN-Microsoft sites drew 2.8 billion searches--up 8 percent from 2005.
While search volume slowed somewhat from May to June, it still far surpassed that of 2005. comScore reported that U.S. Web users conducted 6.4 billion searches last month--marking a 6 percent drop from May, but a 29 percent increase from last year.
Google accounted for 2.9 billion of June searches, while Yahoo claimed 1.8 billion and MSN-Microsoft garnered 818 million.
