Whilst I agree that procuring a network management tool from the equipment supplier is a great idea it seems unlikely that the numbers of people using that research method would greatly increase since 2004? >What I read out of it ? People don’t use search engines that much to find a network management tool… They do, they just don't appear to do so on google quite as much as they used to. I don't see them using some other search engine either. Surely, the search share stats would show a significant movement away from Google. @zoly: Thanks for dropping by.

They do, they just don’t appear to do so on google quite as much as they used to. I don’t see them using some other search engine either. Surely, the search share stats would show a significant movement away from Google.

If somebody looks for a network management tool they will probably try out more than one search engine. New networks are built every day, the market is growing, however if you build a wimax network you will not look on google for management tools for it. Whoever provides you the equipment will probably recommend you a management tool that works best with your hardware. What I read out of it ?

The last time I looked Google's market share was holding up quite well, if not growing a little. Though, aggregate market share doesn't mean that they can't be losing a specific section of their audience. Are IT people abandoning Google? @Robert: I suppose that could have some bearing on it.
