Later in the day I'm seeing some changes in both Yahoo and Bing. My original assessment that they aren't the same is somewhat true, but it's starting to look more like the results are coming from different data centers that start to eventually shake out real close to each other. One very specific search shows my post as #2 on Bing and #3 on Yahoo, and the Yahoo results have 2 results from the same source at the top while Bing only has 1 result from that source in the top 10. Going to keep watching and see if they eventually coalesce on both services or continue to have diversified results.

Another search engine matching the speed of Google is fantastic news though I doubt Bing is quite there yet. On the other hand if they don't add silly things and alter the top 10 with countless non search results we may see them gain ground continually from here on. Here's hoping, 2 engines is better than 1.

| Agreed. There's more than one kind of speed - initial indexing is one thing, updating the rankings for existing URLs is something other. I'd say Google is way ahead on that second point, but the initial indexing seem pretty close.

Results changing on Yahoo, lost one generic term altogether, the initial bounce wore off and it dropped out of site while more specific searches still return the article as a results. However, still doing well at Bing! These two are very close but there's definitely some algo variations between the two. Another interesting difference is above the SERPs in Bing there's one advertiser, same advertiser I see on Google, a big name defacto advertiser for this SERP, which is missing altogether on Yahoo.

I am not understanding these results: if I go to BING and put in: www.wedadddress.com , I get x number of results, If i go to GOOGLE and put in www.wedadddress.com , I get x number of results, same website, why two different answers/ google is less in number
