the context seems pretty obvious, to let people compare the different search engines without being biased that they are using a search engine other than Google

  You are misusing the word "context" - http://www.answers.com/context http://www.answers.com/context : 1. The part of a text or statement that surrounds a particular word or passage and determines its meaning. 2. The circumstances in which an event occurs; a setting. The searches here are without context, the rating of results are without context. All we know is that on arbitrary, one-off searches, a set of people who may or may not be representative of anything clicked the button above a certain set of results for some unknown reason.

    And your basis for asserting 'arbitrary and one-off searches' is...?

      Because it's a obscure micro app for doing one-off comparison searches that's making the rounds on social sites.

        Your argument seems circular, to say the least.

  They're comparing search results, not search engines. Results matter, but so do speed, usability, features, privacy, etc.
