New York (NY) - Google keeps extending the lead in its core business, according to a new report released by Nielsen Netratings. Market shares shift less dramatic than in previous years, but Google is apparently on a path to run the majority of web searches in the not too distant future. In February, the company was used for 48.5% of a total of 5.3 billion searches, Nielsen Netratings said.

Google's share is more than twice that of its nearest competitor, Yahoo, which came in at 22.5%. Both Google and Yahoo were able to increase their shares by 0.3% over January - partially at the expense of MSN search, which dropped from 11.0% to 10.7% in the same time frame. AOL Search (6.6%) and My Way Search (2.7%) round out Nielsen's Top 5 search sites.
