I did 10 searches about subjects I was passionate about. Results
Google: 5
Bing: 5
Yahoo: 0
Having read what other people were writing in this thread I thought I would also try and rank the results in order, which would be my first choice, which would be my second choice - so for second choice results, here they are.
Google: 3
Bing: 5
Yahoo: 2
So while the Google/Bing split for first place results were interesting, the second place results were more interesting (to me at least).
I'm going to keep throwing in results later today as I think up more topics to increase the sample size a bit to see which is a bit better, as I think it will trend towards a more even split or even a Google lead, but definitely promising results for Bing.
EDIT - Update, I just checked the results again, seems like it was just hacked in Yahoo's favour.
Around an hour ago (when I first published this comment) I noticed it was about 26.5k votes cast with the split being Google 39%, Bing 31%, Yahoo 30%.
Now having a look the split is Google 31%, Bing 25% and Yahoo 44% with 40k votes cast... I suspect shenanigans.
EDIT #2 - 2 minutes later, split is Google 30%, Bing 24%, Yahoo 46% with 41.5k votes cast, so looks like the fixing is in process. Wonder which Yahoo engineer is doing this...
EDIT #3 - 6 minutes after edit 2, Total is 45k, splits are Google 29%, Bing 23%, Yahoo 49%... Any insight that could be gleamed from this rough poll is now officially tainted, nothing more to see here.
