Dear ew32-ga,

According to a report from Hitwise, the largest are Google, MSN
Search, Yahoo! Search and Ask Jeeves (now Ask). Together they
represented 81% of all search traffic for the UK in September 2005.
Google?s UK site had 63% of this group of four.

In the UK, 63 per cent of visits to a search engine in the three
months to May [2006] went to Google, compared with 47 per cent in the
US.

From my own experience I can say these appears accurate. I have a UK
based web site and referrals from google.co.uk outstrips by far any
other search engine.

I hope this answers your question. If it does not, or the answer is
unclear, then please ask for clarification of this research before
rating the answer. I shall respond to the clarification request as
soon as I receive it.
Thank you
