BlindSearch

Welcome to BlindSearch, the search engine taste test.

I welcomed the arrival of bing, Microsoft's "answer" to GOOGLE search.  Not because GOOGLE is flawed, but because it's so good that everyone uses it.  That could be a problem in this information age, if it became enthralled by one ideology, and that's precisely what I see happening.  Moveon.org and Kos mastered the art of manipulating which stories appear at the top of search results, and Google is top heavy with lefties.  Blah-blah, that aside, Blind Search asks for your input, and delivers the results from Google, Bing, and Yahoo, in changing column order.   Pick the list that best satisfies you, and the search engine is revealed.  To test it, I used "ACORN."  I'm guessing here, but that guess is that 95% of all ACORN queries are looking for information concerning charges of improper voter registrations, or other criminality. Just my opinion. My results were: Yahoo yielded two hits, Inside Obama's Acorn by Stanley Kurtz on National Review Online, and  Rotten ACORN :: Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now.  But they appeared 6th and 7th in the list of results. Bing produced one, the Stanley Kurtz article, but as the seventh entry. Google - No negative ACORN hits in the displayed list. In real life, I use the GROOWE search bar that lets me scroll through all search engines.  Bing has been the default for 10 days, or so, with Google option two.  Bing claims to make intelligent choices, and in practice it reminds me of  letting TIVO guess what to record for you. Poop.  I find myself going to Google about half the time, but that may be because I'm not that comfortable with Bing's interface and display yet.  See what you think.  I plucked this off Drudge, but haven't read it.
