For the second consecutive month, there was little change in comScore’s US desktop search engine rankings. Google, still the overwhelming leader with 64% of the share of the market, and Ask, with less than 2% share, each lost 1/10 of a percentage point between May and June.

Microsoft Bing (20.3%), Yahoo (12.7%) and AOL (1.2%) all showed no monthly change in the rankings, which measure explicit core searches.
