Searching Blind
June 16th, 2009
Blindsearch compares three leading search engines results for your search and displays the results with all of the search engine branding removed. After looking at the three sets of results side-by-side, you vote for which one you like best and the search engines are all revealed. The site searches Google, Yahoo! and Bing.
I found myself trying to guess which was which rather than which was better, but it is equally interesting that way too. I find that I like the results of Google and Yahoo! interchangeably and have yet to select Bing as the top choice.
Definitely of use for classes on searching, this is also a nice tool to have to personally figure out which search engine works best for you.

I searched for myself, i.e. Retiring Guy. Google loves me. Bing doesn’t know I exist.

Yeah, Bing returns really odd results compared to the other two. Some large, reputable sites are left off the list, like Retiring Guy of course!
