After Microsoft relaunched and rebranded its search services in June as 'bing'. It doesn't seem to be fairing as well as some would have hoped.<\/p>\n
\nTwo new surveys looking at Internet search engines show Microsoft's massive effort to rebrand and relaunch its 'Bing' portal is facing some growing pains.<\/p>\n
September's poll from NetApplications found Bing fell to just 3.39 percent of the global search market, trailing the dominant Google and Yahoo. <\/p>\n
A different survey from StatCounter says Bing received only 3.25 percent of the global search market in September.<\/p>\n
Bing, formerly Microsoft Live Search, Windows Live Search, and MSN Search, debuted in June, taking direct aim at Google by positioning itself as a “decision engine.” Ads targeted consumers who are overwhelmed by an allegedly dizzying array of answers from other search engines, claiming Bing is faster at simple searches like booking a flight or finding a restaurant.<\/p>\n
Nonetheless, Google's stranglehold on search remains dominant. In September, 89.92 percent of all Internet queries worldwide were carried out on Google, according to StatCounter.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
