As of the end of October, Google's share fell to 89.33 percent in the region, losing the share to Microsoft.
According to Hitwise, Bing saw the biggest benefit, moving to 4.71 percent, a 2012 peak.
Yahoo jumped to 3.33 percent, and Ask jumped to 2.13 percent.
Hitwise attributed the shift to the launch of Windows 8 and the Surface tablet. Because Bing is the default search engine for both, the company saw a boost which may continue as more purchase the OS.
Of course, all that being said, Google is the clear winner in the UK, and it's not even close.
