The Virginia-based company said Google sites led the US search market in November with 63.5 per cent of the searches conducted, a gain of 0.4 percentage points from October. The number of searches conducted on Yahoo! sites fell 0.1 percentage points to 20.4 per cent, comScore said.

Searches on Microsoft sites fell 0.2 percentage points to 8.3 per cent. They were down by the same amount at Ask Network, which notched up four per cent of total searches.

AOL gained 0.1 percentage points for 3.8 per cent of the search market last month.

ComScore said Americans made a total of 12.3 billion searches in November, a three per cent decline from October.

It said that YouTube, the Google-owned video-sharing site, received 2.79 billion search queries in November, up from 2.58 billion in October.
