qSearch 2.0 is the First Service to Report Search Activity for the U.K. and World

LONDON, U.K., SEPTEMBER 25, 2007 – Comscore (NASDAQ: SCOR), a leader in measuring the digital world, today announced the launch of its new ground-breaking qSearch 2.0 tool in the European market, publishing top-line qSearch data in the U.K. for the first time. qSearch 2.0 also offers the first panoramic worldwide view of online search activity, providing granular, in-depth analysis of the search universe. It encapsulates a broad spectrum of analytics, including:

• Top 50 worldwide Internet properties where search activity is observed, including such sites as MySpace, Monster and Expedia, in addition to major search engines
• Search locations in all major vertical markets - such as Amazon in the retail sector
• Partner Search – tracking of searches initiated on specific sites that are redirected to major search engine sites
• Cross-Channel Search – tracks multiple searches when employing more than one search tab (e.g. Web, images, news) for a single search term
• Local Search – maps, directions and local directory listings
• Comprehensive reporting on worldwide search including individual country reporting in UK, US, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Korea, China, Mexico, with other countries to follow.

Bob Ivins, EVP of International Markets at Comscore, said: “Search activity is no longer merely a preserve of the major search engines like Google and Yahoo!, but has become ubiquitous across the web, occurring on a range of site categories, including social networking, video, careers sites, travel, and so on.. Therefore it is critical to track, analyze and report on search activity wherever it occurs. qSearch 2.0 does just that, providing the most comprehensive and accurate view available of the entire search market.”

There were 3.7 billion searches conducted in the U.K. in July – up 19.4 percent since the start of the year. Google has increased its share of all search queries by 3.8 share points since the beginning of the year and now accounts for a dominant 74.4 percent of all searches made from within the U.K. This share includes searches conducted on YouTube as well as Google.

Online auction site eBay holds a 6.5 percent share of the U.K. search market, while the total of all Yahoo! Properties account for 5.7 percent of all searches. Among the fastest growing search sites this year has been Fox Interactive Network, which includes MySpace.com.
