But then Google's market share keeps going up?

Perhaps I'm missing something...

It means not all people are dependent on using 1 SE alone... They compare SEs with relevant results... Even some of them know that Google possess those...

I suppose it doesnt explain why the market share continues to grow. But I know personally I always use more than one search engine. Especially if I do not like the results that I get on the first 2 pages, which is about as deep as I go in a search.

Its interesting which search engines people use the most. I think most new users use google, which would intern makes the market increase, which makes googles share increase.

That my two cents!

Yes, you have point on this. People loves the SE which give them an accurate and most relevant result and provide fast service.
