By May 2003, Google was by far the most popular search engine, handling over 55% of all Internet searches through its own website and exceeding 80% of all searches through both Google and client websites. Its annual revenues grew from $86 million in 2001 to $1,466 million in 2003 ($1,352 million in the first six months of 2004 alone), net income of $106 million in 2003 ($326 million and $143 million respectively for the first six months of 2004).
