There is absolute zero value to users in "different".

Your statement would be true if everyone searching for a particular phrase wanted exactly the same thing in the results.

The logical conclusion of that is that the perfect search engine would only show one result -- the one that is "best." After all, why would anyone want to visit any other web site other than the "best" one?
