June 15, 2005

According to a new ChangeWave Research survey, Google is the preferred Internet search engine of professionals.

However, Yahoo ranked above Google as the overall favorite web site.

ChangeWave found that 78% of 1,440 professionals surveyed use Google as their primary search engine, compared with the 14% who use Yahoo. 38% said they use Google�s toolbar in their home browsers while only 28% said they use Yahoo�s toolbar.

But Yahoo is the most popular web site, with 32% saying it is their favorite, compared with 17% for Google. Yahoo also was named by 32% as their primary web site for online news and information, followed by MSN (10%), CNN (8%), and Google (5%).

In terms of user satisfaction, the survey found Yahoo (94% satisfied, 6% unsatisfied) nearly even with Google (97% satisfied, 3% unsatisfied). More than three times as many respondents (18%) use Yahoo e-mail as Google Gmail (5%).

When asked if they used more Google products and services than a year ago, 52% of those surveyed said yes, compared to 1% who said no, ChangeWave says. 31% said they used more Yahoo products and services this year and 8% said they used less.
