Comscore’s numbers this time around represent explicit searches, rather than all searches including contextually driven searches that appear alongside other queries and products for Yahoo! and Google properties.
That means these numbers represent a decision by a user to perform a search, rather than an incidental search that happens while using one of the properties of the companies here.
