Is there a matrix that mesures the top search engines

[Acternaweb]

Does anyone know of a matrix for the top search enginges. One that might act as a web trends for them? I need show which engines are most important and who uses them. Suprisngly I could not find this information on respective sites.

Thanks for your help

Of course, the "importance" of a search engine can be measured in many different ways.

I don't know of any stats on who uses the different engines. I know that some industries seem to have more success with certain engines, but whether that's truly across the board and verified, I don't know.

Anyway, I like Web Snapshot for stats on the most popular search engines by Web users:

[websnapshot.com...]

I recently wrote to Media Metrix about an update on their stats, and I do have copies -- if anyone wants one, let me know. These are the top Portals and Search/Navigation sites according to unique visitors in April 2001. They're in Excel format.

Search Engine Watch has some statistical information as well.

I don't know if this is what you're after or not -- but maybe it helps a little.

Travoli, please send me your email address and I'll send you the files. I tried to find your email address here but couldn't. Probably looked in the wrong place!

Thanks!

Nope, it was my fault for turning it off. (grumble grumble) It is fixed now. Sorry for the trouble. :(
