While Google clearly dominates search, it's Yahoo! that gets the most clicks, according to a study released this week by Compete, Inc., a site with a vested interest in search analytics, as it says on its site, "Compete's Search Analytics are the starting point to build search marketing campaigns that create brand awareness, drive site traffic and increase sales."

more clicks huh.... takes 5 clicks to get somewhere instead of the 2 or 3 clicks on google.

less clicks > more clicks if you ask me.

All I know is I stopped using Yahoo search when they included this annoying auto complete feature that half the time isn't working and I have to close the tab.
