Bing Google LogosSince Microsoft opened up its new search engine Bing earlier this month, there has been a nonstop flood of people comparing Bing to the current search juggernaut, Google (Google reviews). Does Bing have a better interface? Is it an improvement over Microsoft’s Live search? And most importantly, does Bing provide better results than Google?
While there are a few tools out there that already compare the two search engines, none take the scientific approach quite like BlindSearch does. The experiment, formed by Michael Kordahi, provides search results from Google, Bing, and Yahoo and asks you to vote on which results are best. However, BlindSearch takes your biases out of the equation by stripping away the branding and logos.
The experiment is both elegant and simple. Perform a search and three columns of results will appear. Each column has a button that allows you to vote for which set of results are the most accurate and useful. The logos will then appear to show you what you voted for. The system randomizes which column will have Google, Yahoo, or Bing results.
