According to foreign media, Google CEO Eric Schmidt expressed on Tuesday that Microsoft launches a search engine about once a year and Bing would not affect Google. In an interview on Tuesday Schmidt said, "It's not the first (search-engine market) entry for Microsoft. They do this about once a year. I don't think Bing's arrival has changed what we're doing."
In order to compete with Google and Yahoo, Microsoft launched a new search engine brand Bing worldwide on May 29. According to data from StatCounter, on June 4, the market share of Bing overtook Yahoo both in the US and worldwide.
However, data from marketing research companies Comscore, Nielsen and Hitwise showed that flow of Yahoo search engine was three times that of Bing. Anyway, Bing's market share still lags behind Google.
