Google once again topped the list for search engine share in May according to data from comScore. The company captured 65 percent of all core searches, up about 0.8 percent from April.
Yahoo came in second with 20.1 percent of searches and Microsoft was third with 8 percent, a drop of 0.3 and 0.2 percent respectively.
May's numbers did not include statistics for Microsoft's Bing search engine, which launched in June, but preliminary results from comScore said Bing helped Microsoft's share of search results jump to 12.1 percent for the week ended June 12.
Total number of searches were down last month, from 14.7 billion in April to 14.3 billion in May.
