A Search Engine Comparison

You can find a very interesting tool (I should say toy) in http://ranking.thumbshots.com/

Apart from giving you a quite pretty graphical represantation of the comparison between the results of the search engines it provides some very interesting statistics concerning the overlapping and unique links.

The results show small percentages of overlap between the search engines - fact that is actually not unexpected. The differences in the first 100 links in the search engine results pages are both due to the different algorithm used by search engines (and the fact that most pages have been optimized only for the Google algorithm) and the size/type of the database between search engines.
