In November 2008, Americans conducted 12.3 billion core searches, a 3-percent decline versus October, which can primarily be attributed to November having one fewer days in the month.

Based on the five major search engines including partner searches and cross-channel searches. Searches for mapping, local directory, and user-generated video sites that are not on the core domain of the five search engines are not included in the core search numbers.
