Google Search Share Drops Slightly in December

According to Nielsen Online, Google’s domination of the U.S. search market dropped slightly in December. Google’s search percentage fell to 56.3% from 57.7% the previous month. Yahoo’s search share also fell .2% to 17.7%. Microsoft gained a not-insignificant 1.8% to 13.8%.

So is this a holiday anomaly, the impact of Microsoft Live/Vista, the rise of specialty search engines, or something else entirely? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
