Google states that they are the undisputed SEARCH champ. I think that only goes so far as not including China as China has Baidu which to my knowledge is far larger in China than Google normally is throughout the rest of the world.
I think I've seen this before. It's actually quite interesting in how the transfer of information request is sent to the end user. Very good find, nonetheless. :)
