Subsequently, in April 2008, there was an extremely slow growth in the rates of Google and AOL of about 2% and 5%, and Jeeves also experienced a negligible rise to more than 10%. Meanwhile, Yahoo remained unchanged. In December 2010, Google and AOL continued to soar slightly and finally hit their highest points of 70% and 10%; in contrast, Jeeves underwent a steady decrease and hit the lowest point of approximately 0%, while the proportion of Yahoo was almost stable at less a little less than 30%.
