I think it is ludicrous to think that Google can be displace from it position as the global leader of web search in the short or mid term.

With this said I have to make clear that I am no Google fan or Google hater but I am glad there are other search engines that can at least compete with Google on their national markets (Yandex, Baidu, Naver, Seznam & Yahoo Japan).
