This means that the search engine´s market share has risen by four per cent over the past twelve months.
Yahoo! and MSN Search came second and third in the April rankings, accounting for 20.28 per cent and 6.26 per cent of the US search market respectively.
Both search engines experienced a month-on-month decrease in their portion of the market, while Google´s share rose between March and April.
