According to data recently released by Compete, an online market research firm, Yahoo Search is growing at a rate of 5% per month, slightly higher than Google's 4%. According to this calculation speed, it takes 8 years for Yahoo to catch up with Google in terms of search shares.
According to data recently released by Compete, an online market research company, in April this year, Google's search share in the US reached 66.1%, an increase of 1.4% from the previous month; Yahoo's 20.4%, an increase of less than one percentage point from the previous month's 19.7%. The data also shows that the number of Google users is growing at a rate of 4% per month, slightly behind Yahoo's 5%. Despite this, Yahoo still has a long way to go to restore to the same period last year. In last April, Yahoo's U.S. search market share was 26.8%.
 
Jeremy Crane, head of Compete's search department, believes that although Yahoo's share only grew by less than one percentage point, the user usage rate is higher than Google's.
     
"If Yahoo continues to grow at a rate of 5% per month over the next few years, and Google continues to grow at a rate of 4%, yahoo needs eight years to catch up with Google in terms of search shares. Of course, this requires the user to submit nearly MB of search requests every month, that is, each person must have at least 40 search requests every day ."
