Google Side-by-Side Search Comparison Tool For Enterprise Search [code.google.com]

The Side-by-Side search comparison tool compares search results from the Google Search Appliance or Google Site Search alongside results from any other search engine or alternate appliance or Site Search configurations. Allow your users themselves to vote on which set of search results they like best!

The Side-by-Side search comparison tool is its own small web server so, after starting it on a server that is accessible to your users, you and your users will be able to access the tool using any standard web browser.

This is a good, albeit, basic model for search quality evaluation. The goal is to determine the most relevant search results, and the target is a large community of users who are likely to provide useful feedback on quality of results. It seems clear how this could be of use to a major search engine.
