Good find, thanks. As one of the engineers pointed out both engines are in the process of getting integrated on the frontend.
The PFI programs are expected to be merged until mid October.
The serps however still are seperate.

Wasn't the reason that AllTheWeb claimed to have the largest index a few weeks ago due to a merging of their indexes?

I don't think so, indexes are very different.

Thanks heini. After doing a simple search it does seem that ATW isn't using AV's results. The search I tried returns a result in AV which isn't returned in ATW. Either way, according to [searchengine-news.com...] :

Yes, the frontend for both engines is one and the same, however options, output and backend are different:
[webmasterworld.com...] >Addurl:
Only makes sense, as basically the PFI options will be promoted through those channels.
Addurls have have for AV and ATW for a long time been the same as with Google: 99% webmaster placebo. They add pages for free depending on links.
