NEW YORK Microsoft’s MSN has begun to pick up search market share from industry leader Google, according to an Internet measurement firm.

Nielsen/NetRatings reported that MSN attracted more searchers in February. The New York research firm said MSN’s search market share jumped from 12.8 percent in January to 14.2 percent last month.

That growth came at the expense of Google, which saw its share of the search market drop from 47.1 percent to 45.9 percent, according to Nielsen/NetRatings.
