Microsoft Bing managed to steal a tiny bit of Google’s search market share in the last year in the U.S., even less globally. But make no mistake – Google remains the dominant search engine.<\/p>\n
This despite the launch of the new Bing<\/a>, powered by ChatGPT designed for Search, one year ago, which many believed could ignite a true contender to challenge Google.
