Search statistics released by comScore yesterday indicated that Ask grows it share of the search market by 20% in January 2008, however given the fact that Ask share of the search market is the statistically insignificant 4%, it would not be difficult to grow by 20%. The reported 20% growth in January 08 does not take them to the statistically significant 5% of the overall market share.
