Data for the month of June reveal that Microsoft (whose search share includes Bing, Live Search and MSN Search) had 8.23% market share for the month, up from 7.21% in April, MarketingCharts reports.

Figures from early in the month show Bing temporarily overtook Yahoo as the #2 search engine, but the full-month figures put it behind Yahoo, which had 11.04% in June.

Google – which remains the undisputed search leader – had 78.48% share for the month, down from 79.07% in April.”
