Comscore reports global numbers

As per them, in 2009, the US had 18 billion searches while China
had 12 billion. The numbers, unfortunately, are not consistent
with other data showing Internet growth in various parts of the
world. Google searches, as per Comscore, have grown 58%
while Baidu's have grown 7%. The only two Chinese companies on
the list have the lowest growth rates (Alibaba is at -1%).
Comscore toolbar penetration is not analyzed in the report.
