You're measurin "query share", but that doesn't tell us anything the size of each search engine's audience, the quality of the user experience, or why people search so much on Google and less on other search engines. A better metric would look at more than just which search engine serves the most queries. Many queries running on Google are automated anyway. Do you filter those out?
