Maybe I was imagining it, but four out of the five I did I felt I knew which was Google and which was Bing - not from doing searches that I would recognise, but just from the extra non-search information / lay-out.

I did my best to still pick without bias to my current search engine (Google) but ended up picking them 5/5 and Bing 0 times.



The site breadcrumbs using ">" always give away Google unfortunately.


So does the lighter blue of the bing links.


And the collection of similar pages when the result is a forum.


Same here - ignoring that I could sometimes tell which one was Google and just looking at the returned links, Google won by 4 and a draw.


Ditto. The layout of the two's result pages are so different now, it's quite easy to tell them apart.
