Google has enjoyed a long run as the world's most dominant search engine, although the company is finding that this level of dominance is getting tough to maintain. Earlier this year, we saw evidence that Mozilla's deal to replace Google with Yahoo as its default search engine has made a small but significant dent in Google's overall share of the search market, which nonetheless remains high at an estimated 75%. Even so, Google doesn't like having anyone challenge its search crown and Search Engine Land reports that Google now "almost looks desperate" in its attempts to lure Firefox users away from Yahoo.
