ComScore said that the Bing boost continues for Microsoft's revamped search engine.

According to comScore, Bing has continued to increase its market share two weeks after it launched. Microsoft's search share hit 12.1 percent from 9.1 percent before Bing launched.

Here's a look:

The big question is whether Bing's gains will hold. After proving to myself that Bing could be my default search engine I wound up gravitating back to Google. Why? Habit. Bing has enabled me to become more of a search two-timer---I use different engines for different tasks just like I do browsers. To me, the search religious wars are over.

Perhaps Bing only needs folks to give it more of a try. I wind up using Google more in recent days, but can gravitate back to Bing without any worries.
