What is the Search Engine Market Share in India, Malaysia and Singapore?

I know that Baidu rules in China and Yandex in Russia, but what about these other countries? Any ideas?

The only market shares I have are China (Baidu 60% and Google China 10%), Japan (Google Japan and Yahoo Japan) and Google Germany has the most market share in Germany. If I had to guess I would say they have one search engine that has the highest share with Google and Yahoo country specific engines in the top 3.

Hope that helps,

You need to remember that alternatives to Google, Yahoo and Bing—the three primary search engines–have taken off in countries which are nationalistic, have censorship and are generally not English speaking.

The Chinese government has been promoting Baidu to wean away nationals from the “harmful” influences of the West, brought in via Google.

By one estimate, the Chinese language based WWW is supposed to be deep and larger than even the one in English, a language of dominance on the Internet.

Understandably, India and Singapore have neither bothered to develop either at the national or private sector level, alternatives to Google, which has anyway given a run for their money to both Yahoo and Bing, despite several location and technological advantages.

Similarly, though Bhasha is spoken in Malaysia, Google indexes both language content (the Bhasha script is English) as well as provided translation services.

Honestly, Google has dominated competition wherever it has been allowed entry to index the local language content, as well as make available other language content.

Examples of this are seen in many East Asian countries such as South Korea, Thailand and Indonesia, where local language content exists but is being indexed and distributed solely by Google.
