    I'm sure one day Google will be dethroned, but it might be a long time before that happens.

    In terms of size and popularity? Google is the #1 site in the entire world. There is no site, search engine or not, that has a bigger audience.

    A more interesting question would be which new/old search engine will be the first to beat the quality of googles SERPs.

    None are that close, but it all depends on what the general public will move towards more in the future.

    Google's approach is minimalism and simplicity, which is basically the complete opposite of Bing. If the public decides that simple is best then I am sure they will stick with Google for a long time.

    Only if the world is what you see from your window. :)

    Do not forget there are many of countries, where Google is not so popular.
    China - Baidu, Russia - Yandex, Czech Republic - Seznam, etc.

    Google fans take into the consideration the fact, that last year the number of internet users in China became bigger than entire US population.

    No one has gotten anywhere near to Google in popularity. A big rival would do Google some good though. Imagine how fast Google would innovate if someone got them running scared.

    Yahoo and Bing still at distant second and third unless maybe they combine together to hold more market share.

    Hi,
    In this time No Search Engine is close to Google.In 2007 Google have 68% stake in Market.Now days Microsoft launches Bing Which is good enough But it also not had closer to Google.So there is no Search engine which gives competition to Google.

    It is very difficult to became a neighbour of Google. It always like to be alone. :)
