GOOG, YHOO, BIDU, MSN searches not same result
==========================================
"Most people believe search results across all four engines are the same, when, in fact, the vast majority of the results from each engine are different. A new study conducted by InfoSpace's Dogpile.com in the US, in conjunction with researchers at the University of Pittsburgh and the Pennsylvania State University evaluated 12,570 random queries run on MSN Search, Google, Yahoo! and Ask Jeeves. It found only 1.1% of first page results were the same across all four engines. The full results of the study can be found at http://CompareSearchEngines.dogpile.com/whitepaper.

Trigg continues, "InfoSpace's metasearch product allows its private-label partners to deliver a differentiated search experience that their customers can't find at any single engine."
