They are all search engines, and all spider websites and display results based on a scoring system.

A car and a kayak are both modes of transportation.

The method under which these scores differ is where these are different systems.

Knowing the difference between a kayak and a car will not help you to drive or paddle. They are completely different skills

You are much better off concentrating on what you need to learn, rather than concentrating on the differences.

Therefore, to discover where there are similarities and where there are differences to maximize your likeability is most certainly a legitimate inquiry.

It is certainly a legitimate inquiry, but one that isn't going to get you that far.

Look at the title of this discussion. You seem baffled that one search engine can hate you while two others can love you. The questions should simply be "Why does Google ate me?" The fact that those other two love you has noting to do with Google hating you. Not even Ferris Beuler was loved by everyone, no matter what the secretary at the school said.
