Blind Study Finds Google Really Does Offer Best Results
Posted by nullbit on November 21, 2005, 3:01 pm
Yesterday, we begun the Search Engine Experiment to discover which of the top search engines really offers the most relevant search results. With 5,000+ participants thus far, I thought now a good time to reveal the results as they currently stand:
As of writing Google offered the overall most relevant results for 41% of searches, Yahoo Search for 33%, and MSN Search trailing behind with only a 27% most relevant share. (Note: the image above is updated automatically, so you will probably be seeing newer figures than written).
We plan to run the experiment indefinitely with the test results automatically updated every 15 minutes and available on this page.
If you haven't already, take the blind test to find out which search engines' results you personally prefer.
Lastly, despite best efforts at making the test fair, and prevent cheating, I remind you that we by no means guarantee the accuracy of these test results.
