About the data
- Search is the line Alphabet reports as "Google Search & other": ads on Google Search and on other Google properties such as Gmail, Maps and Google Play. YouTube ads, the ad network, subscriptions, devices, Google Cloud and Other Bets are counted in everything else.
- Search revenue still grew: the share fell because the rest of Alphabet grew faster.
