You might as well throw Google’s Comscore results for last month out the window.

With the launch of Instant and them counting a pause of 3 seconds, the numbers are so overly inflated it’s not funny.
Everybody who tried instant was pausing to see the results not to mention those are not real searches because this is not what the user intended to type in. It’s like comparing apples to oranges.

To get a real accurate score, only the final result should be counted and I would be willing to bet Google actually lost ground when you remove on the instant stats.

If they continue to count a pause of 3 seconds, it’s really going to slant the numbers and you can’t compare it to straight up searches on Bing.
