Microsoft's new search engine "Bing" got off to a fast start in its first week. Bing accounted for just over 11 percent of U.S. searches after launching last week-- the first time Microsoft has been in double-digits for search in two years.

Even if Bing hangs on to its gains it has a long way to go to catch Google which was used for more than 60 percent of searches in April.
