I ran across this site today that is doing a search engine experiment. They let you perform a search using their interface. It grabs search results from Google, Yahoo, and MSN. You take a gander at the results (and even click on them if you want) and then pick which results are more relevant. But you don’t know which results match which engine until after you’ve made your choice (a typical blind survey).They have had over 7500 participants so far, and the results show Google is ahead:Google-41%Yahoo-32%MSN-26%Am I very surprised that MSN is in last place? No. 😉 In case my wife is reading this, yes I do know that this isn’t a scientific study.
Google search has more relevant results
