First the bad news for Bing. It overlaps Google too much. On our test queries it overlapped Google 29% of the time, more than Yahoo (25%). Kendall?s tau was much closer however (0.105 vs. 0.102).

The good news is that Bing is pretty close on ranking. On this query set Bing gets a 65, Yahoo a 66.5 and Google a 67. These differences are significant at 99% confidence level.

The ratio of spam in the results was the biggest factor. Bing had 2.9% spam, Google had 2.56% spam, while Yahoo had 4.9%. Having double the spam of Google must be holding Yahoo back from gaining search share

Interesting note on "spam". The full report can be found here: http://www.cuil.com/info/blog/2009/0...-is-bing-doing
