Latest search market data from comScore show that both Bing and Google have gained in October while Yahoo continues its slump.  Google remained steady at the top with 65.4% market share from September’s 64.9%. Bing on the other hand managed to post a 9.9% marker share from 9.4% in September.

Meanwhile, Yahoo seems to be suffering, probably from Bing’s gain with 18% market share in October from September’s 18.8% data.

Another interesting point is the fact that Bing’s Y/Y growth is at a significant 30.8% from 2008.  This maybe naturall, espcecially since prior to Bing, Microsoft search, was in a big slump for the past several years as well.

What really matters now is whether Bing and Yahoo’s combined search market share will have enough force to get some more search market juices from Google. Unfortunately, we won’t be seeing until probably after the first quarter of 2010.
