Search is more like a habit and difficult to break. In India, google had an edge over other search engines, because there were no search engines. However in the other geographies, this was not the case. In Japan, Yahoo dominates, in China, Baidu is no1 and in Korea qq is the most preferred search engine. Google was late entrant in all these markets and this could also be due to aversion to English. In my opinion users must be searching for similar information (search intent should be the same across) however the way in which it is made available through technology (and therefore its adoption) and hence depends on the offering of the first provider. I guess we all are very lazy and averse to change our habits :). Good information! Hey shalabh
