The search engine still has some ground to make up after falling 600 million searches short of third-place search engine Yahoo!, but if trends (Bing growing by an average of 22% and Yahoo! continuing to fall) continue, Microsoft’s search engine could make it’s way into the top three by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, Google has an absolute stranglehold at number one with close to 7 billion searches. To give you an idea of how dominant that is: if you added the searches conducted by every other search engine in August together, Yahoo+Bing/MSN Live+AOL+Ask.com+My web search+Comcast+Yellow Pages+Nextag+Local.com, you would get a grand total of about 3.5 billion searches, which is half of Google alone.

Also unveiled earlier this week, thanks to cnet.com, was an independent study that shows Google was preferred by 1100 software developers who conducted a survey. Google ranked number one for highest overall accuracy, best real-time relevance, and fastest page load speed, with most survey participants possessing an average of 3-5 years of experience in the field.
