  > Yahoo is just a front end for Bing, so can't really be behind it. Back when Apple Maps on iOS was just a front-end for Google Maps, many people found it to be considerably behind Google Maps as used through other mechanisms. Being a front-end for X doesn't mean you can't be behind X, or even ahead in UX.

    They were talking about results - so I'd argue UX/UI was an irrelevant issue. They want relevant results, which Google is increasingly getting worse at (with Bing no better) and "Yahoo far behind". Yahoo would be equivalent to Bing in regards to search results. Context is important.

      > They were talking about results - so I'd argue UX/UI was an irrelevant issue. What I said was an alternate front-end to a service can be behind in any way, and even (as a side note) ahead in UX/UI (its less likely to be ahead in other ways, unless a service has useful features in its back end that aren't accessible through the primary front-end.)

  I remember that now, I still didn't believe it. I just did a side by side incognito search and they had almost identical results. They had very different metadata though interspersed. ie: Yahoo Answers, Bing Related Searches
