Google, the world’s favourite search engine, just gets more and more powerful. The question is what to do about it. Even though it remains largely a one-product company – search – there is nothing on the horizon to dislodge it.A year or two ago, as web activity started migrating to mobiles, Google’s dominance was at risk – not least because Yahoo was ahead in making mobile search usable. But recent statistics from netmarketshare.com, which have provoked remarkably little discussion, suggest Google now has an astonishing 97.5% share of mobile search, even before its own Android operating system has been fully rolled out.
