Google's search is handily out-performing rivals Microsoft and Yahoo as interest in YouTube boosts its numbers.
"Google continues to dominate audience market rankings in the U.S. and globally," wrote Thomas Weisel Partners analyst Christa Quarles in a report Monday.
The search king's U.S. share of search queries in October gained 2.5 percent to 61.3 percent of the market compared with a year ago, according to researcher comScore. That was helped in part by YouTube's 46 percent increase in search contribution from the same period a year ago.
Yahoo, on the other hand, saw its share of U.S. search queries slide 2.8 percent to 12.1 percent of the U.S. market from a year ago, researcher comScore reported Monday. Microsoft, largely on the gains of its Bing search engine, saw its position in the market jump to 6.6 percent from a year ago.
Thomas Weisel, which makes a market in Google securities, has an "overweight" rating on the stock.
