May 2008 German Search Engine Rankings

comScore is out with their German search engine rankings for May 2008. Google picked up another 1.5% share from the previous month, moving them to just over 80% of the German search engine market. That’s a staggering number. eBay is the second most popular search engine in Germany, however they lost .5% share for the month, coming in at 6% overall.

German networks Verlagsgruppe Georg von Holtzbrinck and ProSiebenSat1 Sites own 4.6% share combined.

It’s interesting to compare the numbers to the Russian search engine comScore report. In Russia, local search provider Yandex owns nearly 50% of the search market.
