Google, with 47.4 percent of US Web search market share, has gained an increase of 0.4 percent during the last month of the previous year, enough to secure the number one slate. While Yahoo! has to settle for number two spot with 28.5 percent but with a remarkable increase too of 0.3 percent in December.

3.2 billion searches were hosted by Google and 1.9 billion by Yahoo!

On number 3 is Microsoft with 10.5 percent, losing 0.5 percent from last month. InterActiveCorp's Ask.com's share plunges by 0.1 percent to 5.4 percent.

I remember a few years back the only search engine I used was Yahoo. But then, Google came into the picture and since then I rarely use Yahoo. Google just came by and demolished everyone. You are right, Google will always be the king of search engines. I highly doubt anyone will overtake Google in the near future..
