ComScore released its new search market share figures and Google gained 6 points at the expense of Yahoo and MSN Search, for a total U.S. market share of 42.3%. Yahoo had just 27.6% of searches overall and queries on MSN fell to 13.5%. Ask.com gained market share, capturing 6% percent of all searches being performed by Internet users, up from 5.3% a year ago.

RBC Capital Markets analyst Jordan Rohan goes on record to say Google could eventually be serving up results for 70% of all searches conducted in the United States.

However, as Rohan points out, market share data doesn’t necessarily translate directly into revenue. But c’mon now: 70%! Seventy percent? That’s crazy talk.
