    Surely, I'm a Google person, but I was pretty surprised by the results.
    First, I put my name, which is not that common, and word "computer" into the search (Broni+computer), and.......Bing came first, Yahoo 2nd, and Google 3rd in accuracy test.
    I have to say, I was pretty surprised.

    Next I put my first name, and my last name (very uncommon) into the search, and Bing came first again, Yahoo, and Google pretty equal, but well behind Bing.

    Me too, mopar+computer listed probably every site on the net for mopar, but I'm already a Bing fan.

    FWIW, I searched all three for Windows 7 System Requirements a few minutes ago (with default preference settings), and the first link in each search engine results list leads to the same Microsoft page.

    Maybe Google and Yahoo are quicker than Bing at locating relevant emerging technical data.

    Perhaps someone doing geneology-related searches would tend to get results similar to broni's.

    Seems I saw "google-analytics.com" script references (using "NoScript" Firefox add-on) just about everywhere while surfing (until I whitelisted google-analytics anyway). Perhaps the high frequency is related to the types of sites I visit when surfing. I have a feeling Google has numerous tentacles stuck deep into the web somehow feeding its search result prioritization algorithms continually.
