Price growth
A recent report found that four out of 10 web searches conducted in the US are now done using the Google search engine, giving the company a 42% market share in February.
That makes Google the world's most-used search engine and rivals have renewed efforts to eat into its market share.
To stay ahead of the competition, Google is expanding into new areas and has bought other companies to broaden its access to the online advertising market.
Google's share price has suffered in recent weeks - the stock has lost more than 6% this year - as investors questioned whether it could keep revenues growing as quickly as it has done in the past.
However, despite the concerns, Google's shares have performed remarkably well since it listed on the stock market and have doubled in value during the past 12 months.
On Friday, Google shares closed $1.56 higher at $390.
