Slight Skews to Google, Yahoo Search User Demographics

The Yahoo search engine is slightly more often to be used by younger users; Google slightly more often is used by older users. But the overall patterns are pretty similar.

The real difference is that Google accounted for 65.98 percent of all U.S. searches in the four weeks ending January 26, 2008. Yahoo!

The remaining 48 search engines in the Hitwise Search Engine Analysis Tool accounted for 1.97 percent of U.S. searches.
